The exonarthex of Saint Nicholas Church, located in the picturesque town of Moscopole in southern Albania, is a testament to the rich artistic and historical heritage of the region. This architectural gem, with its impressive arches and columns, serves as the perfect backdrop for these exquisite frescoes. The brothers Kostandin and Athanas Zografi were prominent artists of the 18th century, known for their mastery of the fresco technique. Their work at Saint Nicholas Church represents the pinnacle of their artistic achievements, showcasing a harmonious blend of European and local influences. The frescoes, decorated with intricate details and vibrant colors, depict various religious scenes and figures.
