Morava architectural school (Serbian: Moravska škola arhitekture, Serbian Cyrillic: Моравска школа архитeктуре), also known as the Morava style (Serbian: Moravski stil, Serbian Cyrillic: Моравски стил), or simply as the Morava school (Serbian: Moravska škola, Serbian Cyrillic: Моравска школа), is an ecclesiastical architectural style that flourished in the Serbian Late Middle Ages (ca. 1370–1459),[1] during the reign of the Lazarević and Branković dynasties.
The churches and monasteries were built by the rulers Lazar Hrebeljanović (1370–1389), Stefan Lazarević (1402–1427) and Đurađ Branković (1427–1456) and their nobility. The first endowment was the royal tomb of Ravanica. The main achievement of the Morava School is the splendor of the sculptural elements. The decorative stone plastic of the Moravska School represents one of the most original artistic achievements of medieval Serbian art. Decorative elements characteristic of this artistic school typically consist of geometric arabesque with stylized floral ornaments and interlaces, which include only scarce figurative details. Sculpture was usually painted, and thus, very vivid in effect.[2]
