Fresco Painting: Additions to the fresco painting section
==Fresco Painting ==
Initial fresco layer have been finished by 1208 by painters from Constantinople school. Two frescoes from this period thankfully surviving in excellent shape to the modern age best represent the style and the ideas of the initial decoration. Monumental Crucifixion and the fresco Mother of God of Studenica.
 
Major repainting of the lost or heavily damaged areas have been done in 1569.
For the first time i the Orthodox iconography all the inscriptions were done in Serbian language, instead of the traditional Greek satisfying both political needs of the Serbian Royal family and practical needs of the population.
