Description
Introduction The church of the Mother of God, a katholikon of Studenica monastery located in south-central Serbia, was built both as a church and a mausoleum for the founder of the Nemanjic dynasty. The grand zupan Stefan Nemanja (r. 1167-96) began the construction of Studenica after uniting the coastal and continental territories, creating the first great Serbian state. (1) Like many influential medieval rulers, Stefan Nemanja recognized the political importance of funding religious edifices. (2) The endowments speak of the ruler's dedication to the Christian religion and reflect his power and prestige. A setting was created in Studenica in which the sculptural decoration and the fresco paintings worked together to commemorate the founder of the Nemanjic dynasty that ruled medieval Serbia for around two hundred years.
