Dimiter Zograph from Sozopol worked in the first half of the19th century. His icon Saint Trinity from the homonymous church in Michurin, has the typical for the Strandja art school details. The traditional iconography of the Trinity is very complicated with additional elements and contains in its bottom part three splendid medallions (under the strong influence of the European baroque of 18th c.) „St. St. George and Dimitrius” on horses „St. St. Konstantine and Helena” among them are arranged in uniform frieze. Dimiter Zograph emphasizes the multilayered scenery, which could be seen in his icon „St. John the Baptist” from 1859 г. in „St. Zosimus of Sozopol” church, as well as in the icon of „St. Trifon” 1857 from the „St. George” temple.
