EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint Nicolas, a revered figure in Christianity, is depicted in this exquisite 16th century painting from the Moscow School. Saint Nicolas, also known as Saint Nicholas of Bari, Saint Nicholas of Myra, and Saint Nicolas of Lipna, was a renowned bishop from Ancient Greece, famous for his miracles and generosity. In this portrait, Saint Nicolas is shown wearing the traditional episcopal attire of the time, including a long, flowing robe, a fur-lined collar, and a pointed mitre adorned with crosses. His facial hair, a full beard, is well-groomed and neatly trimmed. Saint Nicolas gazes directly at the viewer with a warm, fatherly expression, inviting a sense of connection and reverence. The painting, a testament to the artistic heritage of ancient Greece and Russia, is a prime example of the fashion clothing of the time. The rich colors and intricate details of the clothing and accessories are beautifully preserved, providing a glimpse into the fashion trends of the 16th century. This painting is a valuable addition to the collections of the Petit Palais in Paris, one of the finest museums in France, showcasing the world's most beautiful art. It is a reminder of the enduring influence of religious art and the legacy of Saint Nicolas, who continues to be celebrated as a saint in both the Orthodox and Roman Catholic traditions, as well as the inspiration for the modern-day figure of Santa Claus.
