Serbian medieval art
Serbian medieval art flourished from the 12th to the 15th centuries, primarily influenced by Byzantine traditions. It is characterized by religious themes, particularly in frescoes and icons, which adorned churches and monasteries. Notable examples include the Studenica Monastery and the Gračanica Monastery, showcasing intricate details and vibrant colors.
The art often depicted biblical scenes and saints, reflecting the spiritual life of the time. Artists used tempera on wood for icons and applied fresco techniques for wall paintings.
