EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the profound artwork of Viktor Mikhaylovich Vasnetsov, depicting Saint Philip, Metropolitan of Moscow. Painted between 1885 and 1896, this masterpiece can be found in the esteemed collection of St Vladimirs Cathedral in Kiev. The image captures the essence of Saint Philip's devoutness and spiritual grace. Saint Philip was a revered figure within the Orthodox Church, serving as Metropolitan of Moscow during his tenure from 1566 to 1569. Known for his unwavering commitment to his faith, he became a martyr and patron saint due to his tragic martyrdom at the hands of Ivan the Terrible. Vasnetsov's exceptional talent is evident in this painting, which beautifully portrays Saint Philip's serene countenance and dignified presence. The artist skillfully incorporates elements such as iconography and fresco techniques into his work, adding depth and historical significance. This remarkable piece not only serves as a testament to Russian history but also highlights Vasnetsov's contribution to fine art during the late 19th century. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, it offers viewers an opportunity to delve into both religious symbolism and Russia's rich cultural heritage. The print allows us to appreciate this significant artwork beyond geographical boundaries while preserving its legacy for generations to come. It stands as a reminder of Saint Philip's enduring influence on Russian church history and continues to inspire reverence among those who encounter it today.
