The founder of the Church of Saint George at Polosko
Abstract
The paper seeks to establish who was the founder of the church of Saint George at Polosko and revise the conclusions of previous researchers regarding this issue. According to the opinion commonly adopted in the scholarly literature, Jovan Dragusin, a cousin of King Dusan, had merely undertaken the construction of church at Polosko, whereas his mother was responsible for the completion of construction and painting of frescoes in the church. Through an analysis of written and visual sources the conclusion is reached that the sole person responsible for the construction and painting of the church at Polosko was the nun Maria, the mother of Jovan Dragusin.
