The painting of the northern wall of the narthex of the Church of the Virgin Peribleptos (st. Kliment) in Ohrid

The author examines the figures and scenes painted on the northern wall of the narthex of the Church of the Virgin Peribleptos in Ohrid. He describes and interprets Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, the figures of the archangels Michael and Gabriel as guardians of the entrance to the church, and the choir of the saint anargyres (Panteleimon, Cosmas and Damian). He then proceeds to discuss the empty field above the northern do or of the narthex, the arcosolium and the tomb of Ostoja Rajakovi . Finally, he refers to the penetration of a new passage on the eastern wall of the narthex, which resulted to the destruction of some figures from the earliest layer of frescoes in the church.
