Abstract

The paper is devoted to selected images of the saint hierarchs in the Church of the Virgin in Studenica Monastery. The attention is first of all focused on the figures of four bishops who were partially covered by the high iconostasis from the XIX century. These are standing figures of St. Achillius and an unidentified saint, and busts of St. Parthenius and St. Charalambos. In adittion to mentioned, some other figures are also analyzed - three saints named Gregory in the prothesis, St. Cyril of Alexandria in the apse, a bust of St. Clement of Rome on the west wall of the nave, as well as the bust of eponymous saint - probably Clement, bishop of Sardis - on the eastern arch below the dome.
