Description

Attested in the ktitorial inscription and the wall painting in the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin in Kučevište. The wall paintings in Kučevište can be dated between 1331 and 1334. Apparently the mother of Radoslavь. She is mentioned in the inscription of the founders of the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin in Kučevište (sьzda se i popisa se hramь prěblagosslovenju bogorodice i s mukomь i sticaniemь ... ktitorice Marene i Radoslavь i Vladislava). She is a prominent figure of the fragmentary ktitorial composition on the northern wall of the narthex in the same church. Zagorka Rasolkoska-Nikolovska proposed a reconstruction, in which Marena holds together with Vladislava the model of the church. According to the scholar they are displaying in this way their joint-patronage of the sacral building.
