Summary/Abstract: Our work starts with a discussion of some aspects of the history of culture, with references to the historical events in the evolution of Southeastern Europe art during the Middle Ages. The Medieval Byzantine art in the Balkans is the result of a stable and fruitful contact of the stylistic influences and intersections of the knowledge of South Slavic, Romanian and Greek gifted craftsmen. Therefore, we will deal with, on the one hand, the contents which are common to such masterpieces of art especially regarding the church one and, on the other hand, with those aspects that have made them be unbeaten - their aesthetic and theological identity. We are going to locate those border areas of medieval art in which the stable principles (rules) could be converted into artistic individual authorial solutions in South-Slavic and Romanian space.
