      Because of the excellent frescoes, the church is also called the "Sistine Chapel of the East". The depiction of the Last Judgement is on the entire western exterior wall of the building. The paintings on the south side depict the "family tree of Jesse". Weather influences have damaged the north side the most. On this side are depicted Adam and Eve in paradise and the Akathistos hymn. On the east side are martyrs, apostles and saints who turn to worship the Mother of God with the baby Jesus. A special feature of the "Holy Hierarchies" in Voroneț is that ancient philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato, Socrates and others are also represented, as well as the Sibyl as an ancient seer.[3] The particularly beautiful medieval paintings and the color design, the so-called "Voroneț blue", are unique in religious Moldovan painting.
