The monastery of Decani in Serbia has some of the best frescoes and icons viewable on the web. And the site called BLAGO | BLAGO is a remarkable collection of photos of these icons and frescoes, not only from the Monastery of Decani, but also the remarkable iconography of Pec Monastery, Sopacani Monastery, Gracianitsa Monastery, Studenitsa Monastery, Ravanica Monastery, and Mileseva Monastery. Besides the icons of the monastery, the site also shows the unique Serbian/Byzantine architecture of the main church of Decani, which is a beautiful setting for the extensively frescoed interior, and the decorative iconostasis and Byzantine Church furnishings. It is well worth the time to peruse the wonderful icons, frescoes, and unique church furnishings of the Monastery on this extensive site.

With iconography, the style of icons often varies with the Christian tradition in which they were developed. The coptic tradition of iconography has a unique style dating back to the earliest of known icons. At left is a coptic icon of Saint Menas from the 7th century. Saint Anthony Coptic Orthodox Monastery in the deserts of California keeps up the Coptic tradition of iconography with modern icons in the ancient Egyptian Christian style.
