The frescoes are remarkable for depicting for the first time in Byzantine iconography, Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary in imperial costume.
Within the church is also a fresco of Saint George who is painted rather strange and particularly odd in the Byzantine-styled art.
He is wearing a mantle and a cloak that has a double-headed eagle with a star in the middle, similar to the one that the Byzantine emperor John V Palaiologos rewarded to Andrea II Muzaka from his victory over Vukašin of Serbia.
This could possibly imply that during the Middle Ages, Andrea was viewed as a great warrior of God by the Albanian people.
[6][7][8] The church influenced greatly the artistic production of Kastoria and Western Macedonia in the late 14th and early 15th century.
