Church of Virgin Hodegetria before destruction.

The Church of the Virgin Hodegetria (Template:Lang-sr) was a 14th-century Serbian Orthodox church in Mušutište, near Suva Reka, Kosovo, that was destroyed by Kosovar Albanian forces during the destruction of the Serbian part of Mušutište, after the end of the Kosovo war in 1999.

History

The church was built as an endowment by Serbian nobleman Jovan Dragoslav in 1315. The inscription at the entrance of the church was considered one of the oldest and most accomplished Serbian epigraphic texts of its kind. It was an inscribed-cross church with a semi-dome and a semi-round apse. The wall was built of alternating rows of bricks and stone cubes. The frescoes of the Mušutište School, related to the style of the Palaiologos era, were painted between 1316 and 1320 and were famed for their plasticity and the saints' typology were known as the best examples of Serbian art. In the altar area there was an unique portrait of St. Clement of Ohrid. In the north-western corner of the naos there were figures of holy women, the warrior saints Theodore Tyro and Theodore Stratelates, angels, and St Panteleimon. Two throne icons of Christ and The Holy Virgin dated back to the year 1603.

Protection

The church was inscribed in the list of the Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1990.

  • "Црква Св. Богородице Одигитрије". Задужбина великог казнаца Јована Драгослава и његове породице налазила се изнад села Мушутишта, десетак километара југоисточно од Суве Реке. Саграђена је 1315. о чему је сведочио дугачак клесани натпис на надвратнику западног портала. Ктитор је један од првих српских велможа који је имао могућности да подигне тако велику цркву. Зидана је наизменичним редовима камена и опеке, док je полукружна олтарска апсида носила сложенију декорацију у комбинацији опеке и малтера. Основа је у облику уписаног крста са куполом која је почивала на четири слободна ступца. Сликарство је било сасвим фрагментарно сачувано: само четири архијереја насликаних у олтарском простору (укључујући једну од најстаријих представа св. Климента Охридског) и неколико појединачних фигура у северозападном углу наоса (свете жене, ратници Теодори Тирон и Стратилат, анђели и св. Пантелејмон) говорили су о великом умећу и образовању сликара. Фреске у Мушутишту, мада немају непосредних паралела, сврставане су међу најлепша остварења епохе краља Милутина. Иако њихов настанак није поменут у ктиторском натпису, претпоставља се да су изведене непосредно по завршетку градње, а најкасније до 1320. У цркви су чуване две престоне иконе из 1603. Храм је доживео обнову у другој половини XIX века. Конзерваторски радови нису извођени, а црква је срушена у лето 1999.
