Fresco Painting: Additions to fresco painting section
==Fresco Painting ==
The oldest frescoes within the monastery complex can be found in the Church of St. [[Nicholas of Myra|Nicholas]], dating to early 12th century. However, the knowledge about their origin is lacking. Initial fresco layer n the main church 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. Frescoes in the Kings Church have been painted during 1310's.
Major repainting of the lost or heavily damaged areas have been done in 1569.
