Bianca - a pretty little girl from Moldovitza, Romania

In quest of Bianca, I visited the monastery Humor.
Voievod Petru Rareş and his chancellor Teodor Bubuiog constructed Humor Monastery in 1530 . The monastery was built over the foundation of a previous monastery that dated from around 1415. The Humor monastery was closed in 1786 and was not reopened until 1990.
Humor is protected by a wooden stockade rather than a stone rampart, and lacks the characteristic spire - indicating that it was founded by a boyar, not the ruler. The belfry with a belvedere was erected in 1641, under Vasile Lupu's rule.
Humor was one of the first of Moldavian painted monasteries and, along with Voronet is probably the best preserved. The master painter responsible for Humor's frescoes, which were painted in 1535, is Toma of Suceava, the most famous church painter of the time.
Humor Monastery is now a small convent, served by nuns.
