EDITORS COMMENTS
Riza of Saint Artheme of Verkola, 1774: A Portrait of Rural Life and Religious Devotion This evocative 18th-century Russian School painting, titled "Riza of Saint Artheme of Verkola," depicts a young boy named Riza, dressed in traditional Russian clothing, standing in a rustic field amidst horses, ploughs, and other agricultural tools. The black silhouette of the boy, set against the silver backdrop of a stormy sky, adds a sense of drama and mystery to the scene. The painting is believed to be a representation of Saint Artheme of Verkola, a Byzantine saint who was revered in the Orthodox Christian faith. The saint was known for his miraculous abilities to help farmers with their harvests, especially during difficult weather conditions. In this painting, Riza is shown as a devotee of the saint, seeking his protection and guidance as he works the land. The image is a testament to the importance of agriculture in rural life during this period, as well as the deep-rooted religious beliefs that shaped the daily lives of people in Russia and other European countries. The horses and ploughs in the painting are not just tools for work, but symbols of the connection between people and the land, as well as the reliance on divine intervention for a successful harvest. This painting is a rare example of the artistic heritage of the Russian School, which emerged during the 18th century and reflected the unique regionalism of Russian art. It is now housed in the Musée du Petit Palais in Paris, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among visitors from around the world.
