Κατερίνα Αναγνώστου Yes, the colors of the Voronet Monastery last well since 1488. I read that they used a special azurite pigment that does not fade easily.
Христо Василев Yes, Voroneț is famous precisely for that blue that doesn't go away. I also read that it is from local minerals.
Тарас Панченко Voroneț is dedicated to Saint George, that is why his paintings stand out so clearly on the west wall.
