Pronaos (Narthex) of the Uniate Church

This view of the pronaos shows some of the wall paintings dating from 1810. Like all of the wall paintings in the wooden churches of Maramures, they are painted with tempera onto the inside of the huge wall logs. To make a more uniform surface, the spaces between the logs are usually filled with hemp or linen.
