Description:
AGAPIA MONASTERY. Agapia was built by Hatman Gavril Coci (Vasile Lupu’s brother), between 1642-1644. It stands in a lovely setting in the foothills of the Carpathians. The church was painted by Nicolae Grigorescu in 1858 when he was 18. This was before he went to study in Paris and Barbizon. The painter left his self-portrait here in the figure of Daniel, one of the saints in the upper left hand side of the iconos-tasis.
