During the period called "Brancovan" (17th-18th century), new themes have appeared in the iconographic program of the Romanian churches. Among them are: "The Intercession of the Theotokos (the Protection of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary)" in various representations, Eucharistic themes such as "Christvine", "Christ-precious blood", "Christ in the grave", "Christ's passions", themes of eschatological and moral-instructive character such as "The Life of the True Monk", "The Last Judgment", "The Apocalypse" etc. These have appeared in the Bulgarian lands in 18th-19th century in the art of the Bulgarian Revival. Despite the constant relationship between Bulgaria and Romania during the period of Ottoman domination the new iconographies in Bulgarian art are painted in churches where is no direct Romanian influence. This fact raises the question of the so-called indirect influences, namely the use of common models. The detailed study of the new themes proves their "Western origin".
