Rečane is mentioned for the first time in the "Saint Archangels charter" (Svetoarhanđelska povelja) of Emperor Stephen Uroš IV Dušan, dating to 1348; Rečane was granted (metochion) to the Saint Archangels Monastery, the Emperor's foundation, in Prizren.

Of the ten pieces from the series dedicated to the patron, St. George, six scenes have survived, which have a great iconographical and cultural importance.

The first three scenes were made according to the Serbian translations of "The Life of St. George", while the lower zone is occupied by depictions of individual saints and the Adoration of the Lamb in the apse.
