Summary/Abstract: The paper suggests the murals of the National Revival period at the naos of the catholicon of the Monastery of Kurilo, believed to have been done in 1816 or 1846, to be redated. In fact these were, in all probability, painted in 1856 by Theodore, an almost unknown icon-painter coming from the region of what is now the city of Mon­tana. Almost next to nothing is known about him but for his work on the murals at the naos of the catholicons of the Monasteries of Kurilo and of Podgumer as well as the churches of St Petka, Svoge; of St Nicholas, the village of Gintsi and of St Nicholas, the village of Burzia. He was probably Yanachko Stanimirov's journeyman.
