Humor

Visitors who are knowledgeable of Moldavian architecture of the time, may well see that Humor lacks any kind of towers. It is because, unlike Voroneţ, that is built by the ruler, built by a noble.

Its exterior paintings date back to 1541, the painter being Toma of Suceava. The characteristics of the paintings change somewhat from what we see at Voroneţ. Many persons are depicted in the paintings and their feelings are skillfully shown. In the loggia of the church, another version of the Day of Judgement is shown, not as nice as the one in Voroneţ, though of equal importance in the History of Arts in Moldova. It is very clear, each episode or theme is clearly cut. Specifically to the provinces that make up today’s Romania, but especially Moldova, is that the Turks are in themiddle of thosewho are damned. This arose because of the many wars that they had with the Romanian Provinces, to extend their inflence on these territories.

On the Southern façade the Life of St. Nicholas is shown and the Mary’s Hymn, namely the first episode of The Siege on Constantinople And The Victory on Turks.The Eastern façade depicts the Prayer of All Saints.
