EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "After Taking The Veil, 1898" transports us to a bygone era in Russia. Created by Mikhail Nesterov in 1965, this painting captures the essence of a deeply religious moment. Novice nuns, their heads veiled and hearts filled with faith, gracefully carry candles through a picturesque Russian village. The scene is bathed in warm hues and soft light as the procession makes its way past birch trees that stand tall against the sky. The artist's attention to detail brings out the realism of each figure and every flickering candle flame. Nesterov's work reflects his profound belief in Christianity and his dedication to capturing spiritual moments on canvas. This particular piece showcases his mastery of capturing both nature and human emotion within one frame. Displayed at the State Russian Museum in St Petersburg, this painting stands as a testament to Nesterov's contribution to Russian art during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It serves as an enduring reminder of the country's rich cultural heritage. Vladimir Fiala beautifully describes this artwork in his book "Russian Painting of the 18th and 19th Centuries" published by Artia in Czechoslovakia back in 1965. Through Fiala's words, we gain further insight into Nesterov's artistic vision and appreciate how he skillfully intertwines religion with everyday life. This print not only captures a historical moment but also invites us to reflect on our own beliefs while admiring the beauty found within spirituality itself.
