| Two tourists visit the Voronet monastery in a beautiful autumn day. Voronet is a monastery in Romania, located in the town of Gura Humorului, Moldavia. It is one of the famous painted monasteries from southern Bucovina, in Suceava County. Between May and September 1488, Stephen III of Moldavia (known as Stephen the Great, ) built the Voronet Monastery to commemorate the victory of the Battle of Vaslui. Often known as the Sistine Chapel of the East, the frescoes at Voronet feature an intense shade of blue known in Romania as Voronet blue. The exterior walls including a representation of the Last Judgment on the west wall are painted in 1547 with a background of vivid blue. This blue is so vibrant that art historians refer to Voronet blue the same way they do Titian red. |
