550 years since the death of Ruler Vlad Țepeș: Graphic exhibition at the Comana Monasterytranslated

July 9, 2026 · 1 min read

The Comana Monastery in Giurgiu County is commemorating 550 years since the death of Ruler Vlad Țepeș, the founder of the holy settlement, by organizing a graphic exhibition dedicated to his personality and the era in which he lived.

The artist Yulya Kravets exhibits in the monastery museum a series of pencil drawings depicting moments from the life of the great voivode. The young artist, originally from Belarus, is passionate about medieval history and came to Romania for the first time for the opening of the exhibition.

Ruler Vlad Țepeș is known "for his judicial spirit, which has remained legendary to this day", recalled Arhim. Mihail Muscariu, the abbot of the monastery. Father Abbot declared himself impressed by the fact that, at a time when the world no longer seems interested in national history, this initiative came from outside the country.

The pilgrim house will bear the name of the ruler Photo: Facebook / Diocese of Giurgiului "Our monastery is planning to build a pilgrim's house under the name of the voivode, and I am sure that, in the not too distant future, all these drawings will find their rightful place on its walls," announced the abbot from Comana.

Тодор КириловИнтересно, че една млада белоруска е нарисувала с молив моменти от живота на Влад Цепеш. Добре че манастирът Комана прави такава изложба точно за 550-та годишнина, а не само да говорим за справедливия му дух. Идеята за къщата на поклонниците с неговото име ми харесва, дано скоро я построят.

Иван КириловДа, и аз останах с впечатление от тези рисунки – точни са, без излишни украшения. Добре че не са само приказки за справедливостта му, ами има и конкретна изложба точно за годишнината. Питам се дали Яуля ще направи и нещо за манастира самия, след като е дошла чак от Беларус.

Marija StojanovićDobro što je ta mlada Beloruskinja došla baš sad sa olovkama i nacrtala konkretne trenutke iz života vojvode, a ne samo da se priča o pravednosti. Sviđa mi se što će kuća za hodočasnike nositi njegovo ime, nadam se da će crteži stvarno završiti na zidovima. Pitam se hoće li Yulya nacrtati i samu manastirsku crkvu dok je tu.

Nicolae GheorghiuBine că o tânără din Belarus a venit tocmai acum cu creionul și a desenat momente concrete din viața lui Vlad Țepeș, nu doar vorbe despre spiritul lui justițiar. Mi-a plăcut ideea cu casa de pelerini care va purta numele lui – sper să se termine curând și desenele să ajungă pe pereți. Oare Yulya a mai stat pe la Comana după vernisaj?

Μαρία ΘεοδώρουΚαλά που η Yulya Kravets ήρθε από τη Λευκορωσία και έκανε αυτά τα συγκεκριμένα σκίτσα με μολύβι, αντί να μείνουμε μόνο στα λόγια για το δίκαιο πνεύμα του Βλαντ. Μου άρεσε που ο ηγούμενος είπε ότι θα μπουν στη νέα πτέρυγα προσκυνητών με τ’ όνομά του. Ελπίζω να προχωρήσει γρήγορα το έργο.

Corina RusuDa, și eu am rămas cu impresia că Yulya chiar a citit bine documentele, nu doar a copiat scene cunoscute. Sper să termine casa de pelerini cât de curând, pereții goi așteaptă niște desene ca ale ei. Ai idee dacă a mai desenat și alte figuri românești înainte?

Katarina ĐorđevićSlažem se, baš je lepo što je konkretno nacrtala trenutke iz života, a ne samo opšte priče. Nadam se da će i manastirsku crkvu nacrtati, to bi lepo stajalo u kući za hodočasnike. Jesi li možda videla neke od tih crteža na Fejsbuku?
