The Apocalypse (Old Believer Book), dating back to 1712-1713, offers us a glimpse into the profound spirituality that has endured for centuries. In Silence, painted in 1903, an artist captures the essence of contemplation and introspection that lies at the core of this ancient faith, and is a silence that speaks volumes about their unwavering devotion. Peter I in the Rebellion of the Old Believers in the Palace of Facets takes us back to late 18th century Russia when tensions ran high between tradition and modernization. An anonymous artist skillfully portrays this historic clash with remarkable detail. The Meeting of Old Believers at Nizhny Novgorod brings together kindred spirits bound by shared beliefs. Their gathering symbolizes unity amidst adversity, fostering strength within their community. Through The Prayer by Leonid Mikhaylovich Brailovsky (1867-1937), we witness fervent supplication - a testament to their unyielding faith even during challenging times. This artwork serves as an embodiment of spiritual resilience. Saints Zosima and Savvatiy grace our vision alongside Solovetsky Monastery in Dmitri Pastukhov's masterpiece from 1765. This depiction transports us to another era, where these revered figures were venerated for their wisdom and holiness. Golgotha Skete at Anzer Island on Solovetsky Islands showcases Vasily Artemyevich Cherepanov's artistry from the 19th century.
