Nerezi

Нерези (original title)

Synopsis

The monastery "St. Panteleimon" in Nerezi is a masterpiece of medieval, not only Macedonian but also Byzantine architecture. Its main features are the harmonious forms, the mastery of its builders, the polychrome facade of stone and brick, as well as the skillfully made domes. The painting, on the other hand, by unknown masters from 1164 represents the apogee of drama, unseen in medieval painting until Nerezi.
