The Horezu Monastery or Hurezi Monastery was founded in 1690 by Prince Constantin Brâncoveanu in the town of Horezu, Wallachia, Romania. It is considered to be a masterpiece of "Brâncovenesc style", known for its architectural
purity and balance, the richness of its sculpted detail, its treatment
of religious compositions, its votive portraits, and its painted
decorative works.
