EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a double page from the Gospel Book of St. Sergius of Radonezh, dating back to the 14th century. Created by an anonymous Russian master, this exquisite manuscript is now housed in the State History Museum in Moscow. The image transports us to medieval Russia, where a devout monk is immersed in prayer and ritual. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring life to the scene, capturing the essence of religious devotion during that era. St. Sergius of Radonezh, depicted on one side of the double page, was a revered saint and abbot known for his piety and miracles. The other side features Bartholomew, another prominent figure from biblical history. This illuminated manuscript serves as both a spiritual guide and a work of art. Its intricate details reflect the mastery of old Russian artistry while preserving important aspects of Russian history. Rendered with watercolor and ink on paper, this gospel book represents ancient Russia's rich cultural heritage through its use of Old Church Slavonic script—a testament to its significance within Orthodox Christianity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also its historical importance as it offers insights into early Rus society and their deep connection with faith through illuminated manuscripts like these – truly treasures from our past.
