#transylvanian beauty: an Imre Makovecz architectural masterwork- the #calvinist #church in #vargyas / #varghis , #szeklerland . It combines the local Transylvanian #gothic #architecture traditions, with Karoly Kos’s #tranylvanianstyle and Hungarian #nationalromantic era echoes. #imremakovecz #makoveczimre #architecturehistory #architecturephotography #southeasteurope #casedeepoca

The portrait of the Prince of #wallachia , Constantin Brancoveanu and his family, at the end of the 17th c. All males in that group will be beheaded by the #sultan in #Istanbul, in 1714 under suspicion of treason (collaboration with the Russians and Austrians). It embellishes the southern half of the wall dividing the pronaos from the naos of #horezumonastery #church , and is about 5m in width. #wallachian #wallachianstyle #ottomanempire #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca #architecturehistory #architecturephotography #muralpainting #churchfounders

This is one of my favourite #wallachian style #church portals, the one of the late 18th c built Horezu Church, dedicated to the local hunters. It shows a synthesis between local #pagan traditions, #byzantine #heritage and #islamic influences. #wallachianstyle #wallachia #balkans #southeasteurope #ottomanempire #ottomanarchitecture #casedeepoca #architecturehistory #architecturephotography #architecture

#cula Duca in #maldaresti , #oltenia province.

The #imperial #doors of the #altar #iconscreen at #polovragi #monastery #church , a #wallchian style edifice, in this form@since the beginning of the 18th c. One can see the heavy influence of the #ottomanart of the period in the design of this artefact. #oltenia #wallachia #wallachianstyle #southeasteurope #balkans #ottomanempire #architecturehistory #casedeepoca #architecturephotography #architecture

Panel #painting showing #lilies and #roses in a vase, dating from the mod 18th c, on a wall in the #pronaos of #plovragi #monastery hospital #church , an edifice in #wallachian style.
