This year marks the 140th anniversary of the birth of Peter Morozov, a famous Bulgarian painter and graphic artist who introduced one of the techniques of graphic art in Bulgaria – the colour aquatint.

A passionate lover of antiquities, the artist devotes much of his work to historical events, to views of majestic corners of Bulgaria, of monasteries and churches, old streets and houses, bridges and markets, some of which are owned by the National Museum of History (NIM). Apart from their artistic value, they also have historical value because they have captured the authentic image of many Bulgarian antiquities, some of which no longer exist. Petar Petrov Morozov was born in Ruse on September 6, 1880. He participated in the Russo-Turkish Liberation War (1877-1878).
