EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Menology print, created by the esteemed Novgorod School between 1750 and 1800, showcases the enthroned figures of various saints venerated during the Orthodox Christian month of October. The vibrant, richly colored image transports us back to the 18th century, where we find a group of men, dressed in intricately designed robes, gathered in reverence before their saintly leaders. The palette of deep reds and golds evokes the autumnal hues of the season, while the golden thrones and halos of the saints add an ethereal glow to the scene. The men, dressed in traditional clothing of the time, pay homage to their spiritual guides, their respectful steps up the steps leading to the thrones a testament to their unwavering faith. This Menology, a religious calendar of saints' feast days, was a cherished institution in both Russia and France, where it was highly regarded in Parisian museums such as the Petit Palais. The Novgorod School, a significant artistic movement in Velikiy Novgorod, Russia, was renowned for its mastery of icon painting, and this Menology print is a prime example of their skill and devotion to their craft. The saints depicted in this Menology, each with their unique attributes and stories, offer a glimpse into the rich heritage of Christianity and the fashion of the 18th century. This artwork invites us to reflect on the enduring power of faith and the beauty of artistic expression.
