The Boyar Morozova, 1887, (1965). Creator: Vasily Surikov
The Boyar Morozova, 1887, (1965). Detail showing distraught worshippers, from a painting depicting Feodosia Morozovas arrest by the Nikonians in 1671. As an Old Believer, the man at bottom right holds two fingers, rather than three, raised in the old way of making the sign of the cross. Feodosia Morozova (1632-1675) was one of the leading figures of the Old Believer movement that split from the Russian Orthodox Church after 1666-1667 in protest at religious reforms instigated by Patriarch Nikon. She was arrested and imprisoned, along with her sister, Princess Evdokia Urusova, in the cellar of the St Paphnutius Monastery in Borovsk. Feodosia starved to death there in 1675 and was venerated as a martyr by the Old Believers. Painting, also known as Boyarynya Morozova, in the State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow. From " Russian Painting of the 18th and 19th Centuries" by Vladimir Fiala. [Artia, Czechoslovakia, 1965]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a detail from Vasily Surikov's renowned painting, "The Boyar Morozova" depicting the arrest of Feodosia Morozova by the Nikonians in 1671. The scene showcases distraught worshippers surrounding Feodosia as she faces her unjust imprisonment. One particular man at the bottom right stands out, holding only two fingers raised in the old way of making the sign of the cross, defying the religious reforms imposed by Patriarch Nikon. Feodosia Morozova was a prominent figure in the Old Believer movement, which emerged as a protest against these reforms initiated by Patriarch Nikon within the Russian Orthodox Church during 1666-1667. Along with her sister Princess Evdokia Urusova, Feodosia was confined to the cellar of St Paphnutius Monastery in Borovsk where she tragically perished due to starvation in 1675. Her martyrdom led to her veneration among Old Believers. Surikov's painting, also known as "Boyarynya Morozova" is housed in Moscow's State Tretyakov Gallery and serves as a powerful testament to religious conflict and defiance during this tumultuous period. The artist masterfully portrays not only historical events but also evokes emotions through his realistic depiction of characters and their gestures. This remarkable print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Russia's rich artistic heritage while contemplating themes such as faith, resistance, and sacrifice that remain relevant even today.
