Where Moldavia
When 1982
Photographer James L. Stanfield

"Teaching scripture with art, the 15th-century monastery church of Voronet bears frescoes inside and out that illustrate Romanian folklore and stories from the Bible. Once teaching aids for the illiterate, the remarkably preserved painted churches of Moldavia represent a striking regional adaptation of Byzantine art."

—From "The Byzantine Empire: Rome of the East," December 1983, National Geographic magazine
