Voroneț Monastery was built in 1488 in just 3 months and 3 weeks and is nicknamed the Sistine Chapel of the East due to the fresco on the west facade showing the Last Judgment. Thanks to the working technique applied by Moldovian painters, the so-called Voroneț blue is not only known for the nature of the blue pigment, but also for its resistance to climatic conditions, coping with the centuries that have passed over it. The wonderful color comes from a secret recipe that is based on a mineral called azurite, thus becoming the most resistant color.
