EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a significant historical moment as Bishop Mitrophan of Voronezh donates to Peter I for the construction of the Azov fleet in 1696. Painted by Mikhail Ivanovich Terebenev in 1857, this neoclassical masterpiece showcases the deep friendship and collaboration between two influential figures during a crucial period in Russian history. In this scene, Bishop Mitrophan presents his generous donation to Peter I, also known as Peter the Great. The painting depicts both men surrounded by priests and other members of their respective orders, emphasizing the importance of religion and spirituality in their actions. The presence of coins symbolizes financial support for the ambitious project. The context behind this event lies within the Russo-Turkish War (1686-1700), specifically during the Second Azov Campaign. The battle for control over Azov was intense, making it imperative for Russia to strengthen its naval power. Through Bishop Mitrophan's contribution, he not only supports his country but also demonstrates his unwavering loyalty to Peter I. This artwork serves as a testament to unity and determination in times of conflict. It highlights how individuals from different backgrounds can come together with shared goals and aspirations. As we admire this piece today at Moscow's State Tretyakov Gallery, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left by these remarkable figures who played pivotal roles in shaping Russia's history.
