Frescoes of the XII century. Holy Transfiguration Cathedral, Mirozhsky Monastery, Pskov

The temple is painted from top to bottom in 1145-1146 of XII century by unknown masters from Greece. The uniqueness of the frescoes is in high artistic quality, in a well-thought-out iconographic concept, as well as in the fact that almost the entire range of paintings has been preserved. By style, they have no chronological counterparts in Russia and resemble Byzantine mosaics in some temples of Sicily of the same XII century.

Preserved 80% of the frescoes.
