Daskal Maksim of Rača was a teacher (daskal) and painter-writer who lived and worked in the Serbian Patriarchate of Peć at the same time as Hristifor Račanin and Kiprijan Račanin from 1682 to 1688 and after forcibly being moved to the north in Szentendre. Maksim continued to transcribe ancient texts and illustrate and decorate liturgical books in the spirit of the School of Rača after the Great Migration. Maksim was a very prolific scribe and icon painter who created his works, according to the manuscript codices identified so far, in the period from the last decade of the 17th century to the first quarter of the 18th century.
The little that we know about Daskal Maksim is that he was educated in Imperial Russia in Kievan Rus. The Galaktotrophousa icon he painted on one of his illuminated manuscripts is a unique example of the influence of contemporary Russian painting in which Byzantine elements give advantage to the traits of Western Renaissance and Baroque art.
The Service to Archiepiscope Arsenije can be found in the Manuscript of Daskal Maksim. He was a contemporary of Jerotej Račanin, Gavrilo Stefanović Venclović, and Grigorije Račanin.
