Mihail George Manu married Smaranda Văcărescu on March 26, 1796, an occasion on which he received as a dowry the Văcărescu family estate at Leordeni. Here he was to recondition the old mansion and raise a modern residence in classical style, alongside which he would build a church, as a chapel of the family, later donated to the village of Leordeni. According to the inscription on the founding stone, the construction was to be completed in 1808, with wall paintings added later. The lives of the saints and the icons inside were made by the painter Mincu, so that later, in 1825, the votive painting that is represented in the present painting would also appear. The mural painting was made by none other than Nicolae Polcovnicul, one of the most important artists of the turn of the 18th-19th centuries, a major player in the history of Romanian art. He is considered among the first proto-modern artists who successfully transition from muralist to easel painter. As for the votive painting, the same Polcovnicul has an interesting, even unique choice for those times: the painting was in oil on the interior walls of the church. In addition, probably also at the wishes of Mihail Mano's sons, Polcovnicul combines in an interesting way clothing styles, a combination between the Turkish spirit - in the portrayal of the foreman Mihail Manu- and the clothing medley by which his children are portrayed.
