Note:
The start of construction for the monastery was 1488 as the then Moldavian Voivode Stefan III the Great (1433-1504) gave the order for the building as remembrance of the Battle at Vaslui on . Famous for his frescos is the there "Saint George Church" ("Stantul Gheorghe") which was built in the then Moldavian style in the shape of a shamrock. "...The frescoes of Voronet only appeared from 1547, when the Metropolit Grigore Rosca started painting the religious messages to the illiterate, but faithful people of the valley. It is from this time the colour "Voronet-Blue" is inscribed in Art History, and Voronet Monastery is rightfully called the "Oriental Sistine Chapel". These frescoes, billboards from the late medieval world, are essentially Byzantine in style, but infused with the vitality of the local folk art and mythology. Very little is known about the artists, but their skills were such that the paintings are still fresh after 450 years' of exposure...." ([1])
