Богородица Застъпница от църквата „Въведение Богородично“ в манастира Яшуня (1499)
The Virgin Mediatrix from the Church of the Presentation of the Theotokos, Monastery of Jašunja (1499)

Summary/Abstract: The authentic murals at the catholicon have survived only on the east wall of the narthex. An extant donor’s inscription in the fresco over the portal, tells that the church was completed on 11 October 1499 owing to the efforts of nun Xenia together with nuns Theopha, Martha and Maria. The nuns are also depicted in a group portrait behind the Virgin Mediatrix, who asks Christ the King of Kings for absolution. The paper deals with sources and mural representations as analogies with each of the depicted figures, offering a list of subjects, implied by the described painting.
