The Church of the Mother of God at Studenica Monastery in Serbia was estab-
lished by the medieval Serbian ruler and founder of his own dynasty, Stefan
Nemanja (r. 1169–1196).1 The church is finely proportioned. Sophisticated
treatment of wall surfaces additionally enriches the high-quality construc-
tion in stone (figure 10.1). Nicely carved architectural sculpture enlivens the
church exterior while extensive fresco decoration adorns the interior walls.
The building is a single-nave structure, with a dominant square-based domical
core and a tripartite sanctuary, typical for Byzantine-rite churches (figure 10.2).
Architecturally and structurally speaking, this design is essentially a condensed
form of a typical Middle Byzantine church, known as an atrophied Greek-cross
church.2 In such churches, as in Studenica church, the lateral arms of the cross
are reduced to narrow barrel vaults. Thus, these vaults effectively become mas-
sive arches that project from structural piers;... the same piers that carry trans-
versal arches, which support the domical core of the structure.
