Vasa Ostojić or Vasilije Ostojić (Serbian Cyrillic: Васа/Василије Остојић; 1730–1791) was a Serbian Baroque painter of icons and frescoes.

Life

Ostojić was born in Sremski Karlovci, Archduchy of Austria in 1730.

He collaborated with monk-painter Amvrosije Jankovićon church projects in Sremski Karlovci. He was once Dimitrije Bačević's pupil and assistant.

His notable works include the Serbian Orthodox Church of the Assumption (Uspenska crkva) in Novi Sad, St. Nicholas in Irig and Neradin (1760), the iconostasis in the Orthodox church in Voganj and the iconostasis in the monastery church of Rakovac. Additionally, he created the iconostasis of the Church of Saint Demetrius in Buda (lost in the Great Tabán Fire of 1810), and most notably, the iconostasis in the Annunciation Church in Szentendre.

Ostojić was under the influences of Russian and Ukrainian Baroque masters.

Later in life, he was ennobled for his artistic achievements.

Ostojić passed away in Novi Sad, Archduchy of Austria, in 1791.
