Abstract
The author has discussed the work of Don Miho Pešić, an interesting 18 century painter from Dubrovnik. So far he has been studied only as a cartographer and diplomat. His will and newly discovered portrait paintings, as well as handwritten books in the State Archives in Dubrovnik, have broadened the picture showing Don Miho to be also a painter of heraldic themes, and portraitist of Dubrovnik's high clergy and civil servants. Don Miho did not stand alone in the field of native Baroque painting. The author lists a number of so far unknown, or almost unknown, names of Dubrovnik Baroque painters preceding the »Trefoil« of Dubrovnik Baroque Classicism.
