The most complete study of the Church of the Virgin in the village of Kučevište near Skopje, the naos of which was built and painted by ca. 1330 and the narthex, between 1332/1334 and in 1337, was published by Ivan M. Djordjević (η. 1-2). Later, other researchers examined it in their articles (n. 3). Our observations concern the distribution of some individual figures in the programme of the naos and, especially, the symbolic meaning of the iconographic presentations of the two chief archangels and their positions in the programme.
