EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "La Sainte Russie (The Holy Russia)" by Mikhail Vasilyevich Nesterov, a renowned Russian artist of the 20th century. Created in 1900, this artwork is a gouache on cardboard piece that falls under the genre of symbolism. It is housed in the prestigious State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. The image depicts a scene filled with religious symbolism and profound emotion. A child, illuminated by candlelight, kneels before an icon while holding a Bible close to their heart. The wintry landscape outside adds to the sense of solitude and contemplation. The painting exudes faith and devotion as it captures a moment of prayer and protection within the Orthodox Christian religion. Nesterov's masterful use of color brings warmth to this cold winter setting, emphasizing the spiritual significance of this holy act. The presence of an aureola around the child's head further emphasizes their belief and connection with Jesus Christ. Through this artwork, Nesterov invites viewers to reflect on themes such as faith, childhood innocence, and spirituality within Russian culture. This powerful composition serves as a reminder of the enduring influence that religion has had on Russian society throughout history. This photograph from Bridgeman Images beautifully captures all these elements in exquisite detail for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate and contemplate upon. "
