EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint Arthemius of Verkola, a revered Orthodox saint from the 18th century, is depicted in this striking painting from the Russian School. The image, created using tempera on wood, captures the saint in a rustic setting, surrounded by the rolling fields and farmland of his rural community in Verkola, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia. Arthemius is shown in the prime of his life, with a strong and robust physique, barefoot and dressed in simple peasant clothing. He is depicted holding a plough in one hand, and a staff in the other, symbolizing his dedication to the land and his role as a protector of farmers and livestock. Two horses, their coats glistening with rain, stand nearby, ready to be harnessed for the day's work. The painting is filled with a sense of movement and energy, with the swirling clouds and lightning in the sky suggesting the changing weather that would have been a constant presence in the lives of the rural community. The boys in the background, also barefoot and dressed in traditional clothing, add to the sense of community and shared labor. This painting, now housed in the Musée du Petit Palais in Paris, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Russia and its Orthodox Christian traditions. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of agriculture and the connection between people and the land, themes that continue to resonate with us today.
