EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Plashchanitsa, a shroud bearing the image of Christ dating back to 1631 during the reign of Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich. Taken in 1911 by Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky, this image showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of this historical artifact housed in the vestry of the Assumption Cathedral in Rostov Velikii.
The close-up shot reveals the delicate lettering and ornate design of the Plashchanitsa, offering a glimpse into Russian Orthodox religious practices and traditions from centuries past. The rich reds and blues stand out against a backdrop of angelic figures and Christian iconography, creating a powerful visual representation of faith and devotion.
As one gazes upon this photograph, they are transported back in time to a period when religion played a central role in society, shaping art, culture, and daily life. The meeting of frontiers between old world craftsmanship and modern photographic technology is evident in Prokudin-Gorsky's skillful composition and attention to detail.
This piece serves as both a historical record and a work of art, preserving an important aspect of Russian heritage for future generations to appreciate. Through Prokudin-Gorsky's lens, we are able to witness the beauty and significance of religious artifacts like the Plashchanitsa with newfound clarity and appreciation.
