Milija Marković (1812–1877) was a Serbian painter and priest (1832–1842), father of academic painter Nikola Marković. In his early youth, he worked as a teacher in the Rukumija, Zaova and Gornjak monasteries.[1] The Serbian Metropolitan Melentije Pavlović invited him to train at his court, where he socialized with princes Mihailo Obrenović and Milan Obrenović.[1] He perfected his painting craft at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Milija Marković collaborated on commission with painter Dimitrije Posniaković (1814-1891).[2]
