EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a serene moment in the daily life of monks near the Gethsemane Monastery, located along the picturesque Volga River in the Russian Empire. Taken in 1910 by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, this print showcases a scene of agricultural work amidst a breathtaking landscape. In this image, we see a group of churchmen diligently planting potatoes in a vast field surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery. The central Asian influence is evident through their attire and traditional wooden tools used for farming. The monastic setting adds an air of spirituality to this otherwise earthly task, highlighting the harmonious connection between man and nature. The composition exudes tranquility as these friars engage in manual labor with utmost dedication. Their synchronized movements create a sense of unity and purpose within their community. This snapshot provides us with an intimate glimpse into their simple yet fulfilling existence. Prokudin-Gorsky's photography beautifully captures not only the physical act of planting but also conveys deeper themes such as self-sufficiency, sustainability, and devotion to both God and land. It serves as a testament to the timeless bond between humans and agriculture that transcends borders. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images invites us to reflect on our own relationship with nature while appreciating the profound beauty found within everyday moments like these monks tending to their fields on the outskirts of Gethsemane Monastery.
