Nemanjić family tree (art)
The Nemanjić dynasty is depicted in a family tree composition in several specimen of Byzantine art frescoes in medieval Serbian Orthodox monasteries. The scheme is known as the Nemanjić family tree (loza Nemanjića).[1] Examples include those of Gračanica (1321), Peć (ca. 1335), Visoki Dečani (ca. 1350), and Matejić (ca. 1360).[2]
Nemanjić family tree from Visoki Dečani (ca. 1350).
The Nemanjić family tree is also preserved from engravings, such as those of Studenica (1733), and Hristofor Žefarović (1741).[3]
