Milan Kapetanović Serbian Cyrillic: Милан Капетановић; Belgrade, Principality of Serbia, 10 September 1854 - Belgrade, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, 26 June 1932) was a Serbian architect in the later part of the 19th- and first part of the 20th-century.
Biography[edit]
Milan Kapetanović was born in Belgrade on 10 September 1854. As an excellent student and state scholarship holder, Milan graduated from Belgrade's Realka in 1879, and in 1883 from the Technical Faculty of the Visoka škola. In July 1883, he was appointed sub-engineer of the second class of the Architectural Department of the Ministry of Construction, and he remained in that position until December of the same year. In the Ministry of Construction, Kapetanović worked with the renowned architect Svetozar Ivačković to make plans for the construction of village churches in Serbo-Byzantine Revival architecture. When he received the award for the Saint Sava theme in January 1884, Kapetanović was already a state cadet in Munich, where he studied architecture at the Technical University of Munich.
Milan Kapetanović was Minister of National Economy of the Government of the Kingdom of Serbia in 1911 and 1912, then Minister of Construction in 1918-1919. He was also supervisor for reconstruction in Berlin and Wiesbaden until 1927 and dean of the Grande école in Belgrade from 1901 to 1902...[1].
Works[edit]
Milan Kapetanović was the first to develop the site of the Belgrade Fortress, improvements which were maintained until the First World War[2]. In 1908, he also built a first Sephardic synagogue, located on the site of the current Gallery of Frescoes[3]of the National Museum of Serbia, and built in a Moorish style; King Peter I laid the foundation stone. The synagogue was destroyed during the Second World War in the Nazi bombing raids[4]
Among the works of the architect still visible in Belgrade, we can cite the following:
- Dorćol Elementary School which was built in 1893 and which, at that time, is one of the most modern in Serbia. It is protected and designated heritage building since the founding of the Cultural Heritage Protection Institute of the City of Belgrade;[5]
- Jevrem Grujić's House, built in 1896, is characteristic of this type of architecture. It is protected and designated heritage building since the founding of the Cultural Heritage Protection Institute of the City of Belgrade[6]
- According to his project, in 1901, the house of Beta and Rista Vukanović were built in Kapetan Mišina ulica No. 13 to serve as residence and gallery for these two great painters (this house is also protected and designated heritage building since the founding of the Cultural Heritage Protection Institute of the City of Belgrade).[7]
Family[edit]
The Kapetanović family lived in Dorćol. Milan Kapetanović's father Dimitrije (1820–1866) was engaged in trade. Mother Pijada (1826–1913) was a teacher at the Jewish Women's Primary School in Jalia (Belgrade's Jewish neighbourhood), from the founding of the school in 1864 until her retirement in 1881. Dimitrije and Pijada Kapetanović had four children: Katarina (1845–1921), Đorđe (1846–1867), Nikola (1854–1932) and Milan.
