EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Russian history - "The conversion of the Permians to Christianity by Saint Stephen of Perm, 1389". The artwork, created by Boris Artemyevich Chorikov in 1836, showcases the rich cultural heritage and religious traditions of early Rus. In this historical scene, we witness Saint Stephen of Perm playing a pivotal role in bringing Christianity to the people of Perm. As an Orthodox missionary, he stands tall amidst a crowd of curious onlookers. His presence exudes wisdom and compassion as he introduces the teachings of Christ to the pagan inhabitants. The lithograph beautifully depicts the fusion between folklore and faith. It transports us back to medieval times when Slavic peoples embraced their traditional beliefs while embracing this new spiritual path. The image is imbued with symbolism that reflects both Christian iconography and elements from indigenous culture. Through this print, we are reminded of Russia's complex history and its continuous evolution through various influences. It serves as a testament to the power of religion in shaping societies and bridging gaps between different cultures. Preserved within the Russian State Library in Moscow, this piece not only represents an important chapter in Christianization but also highlights Boris Artemyevich Chorikov's artistic talent for capturing historical events with precision and emotion.
