Voronet Monastery, also known as the
" Sistine Chapel of the East", is a medieval monastic complex built
in the village Voroneţ today district of the city Gura Humorului. The monastery is
located 36 km from Suceava and only 4 km from the city Gura Humorului. It is one of
the most valuable foundations of Stephen the Great (1457-1504). The church
was built in 1488 in just 3 months and 3 weeks which is a record for that time.
Painting the inside of the church dates mostly
from the time of Stephen the Great, the year 1496. In the nave and altar
scenes from the artist sought to convey particular theological meaning of
images, making a solemn assembly, but with obvious monumental character.
These paintings inside draw attention especially: the Last Supper, Communion
of the Apostles, washing of feet (the altar), Cycle Passion and votive
painting of Stephen the Great (in the nave).
