Despot Stefan Lazarevi} - GraditeqDespot Stefan Lazarevi}, iako u vazalskom odnosuprema Turskoj a kasnije i Ugarskoj, razapet kao vojniki vladar u te{kom istorijskom periodu za zemqu,duboko je predan hri{}anstvu i tradiciji svojihpredaka Nemawi}a, jer je, po majci Milici, wihovdirektan potomak. Zbog toga je i veliki graditeqcrkava i manastira koji su bili i steci{te duhovnostii obrazovawa.U manastirima koji su izgra|eni za wegova `ivota,iako su freske o{te}ene, mo`e se, sa velikompouzdano{}u, utvrditi izgled Stefana Lazarevi}a.U manastiru Ravanica Stefan je prikazan kaode~ak od 6-7 godina, dok je u manastiru Koporin (uResavi) kod Velike Plane lice sasvim uni{teno. Umanastirima Qubostiwa ( zadu`bina wegove majkeMilice) i manastir Kaleni} naslikan je kao mlad~ovek ri|e- plave grgurave kose sa retkom bradomi jedva vidqivim brkovima. U manastiru Rudnciprikazan je kao krupan mlad plav ~ovek, likom istikao u Ravanici. Najinteresantniji portret dat je umanastiru Manasija: natprirodna veli~ina freske,duguqasto lice, ~etvrtaste o~ne dupqe, desnajabu~ica ne{to vi{e izbo~ena, nagla{eno ispup~ewebrade, koren nosa uzan, Kosa crvenkasto `uta, crtelica pravilne, o~i plave, obrve tanke.Stefan the BuilderIn spite of his vassalian relationship with Turkeyand later with Hungary and his being torn betweenthe roles of soldier and statesman in these turbulenttimes for the country, Stefan Lazarevic was deeplydevoted to christianity and the tradition of hisancestors, the Nemanics, being, by his mother Milica,their direct discendant. This probably accounts forhis unrelenting dedication to building churches andmonasteries as centers of spirituality and education.From the monasteries built in his lifetime, in spiteof the rather damaged frescoes, Stefan’s physicalappearance can be determined with great certainty.In the Ljubostinja (legacy of his mother Milica) andKalenic monasteries he is depicted as a young manwith curly reddish hair, sparse beard and a hardlyvisible moustache. In the Rudinci monastery he isportrayed as a sturdy young man with fair hair,resembling the rendition in Ravanica. The mostinteresting portrait can be found in the Manasijamonastery: unnatural proportions of the fresco, longface, square eye sockets, the right eye-ball slightly moreprominent, the chin somewhat protruded, the root ofthe nose narrow, the hair reddish-yellow, regularfeatures, blue eyes and thin eyebrows.
