EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lundi de Careme" by Vasili Grigorievich Perov captures a couple carrying plants for their purifying and healing steam bath, preceding the week of Easter. Painted in 1866, this oil on wood artwork showcases the artist's mastery of capturing street scenes and traditions from 19th century Russia. The painting depicts an old-age tradition known as Clean Monday, where people prepare themselves spiritually and physically for the upcoming Easter celebrations. The couple is dressed in traditional attire, wearing caps and hats to protect themselves from the cold winter weather. The snow-covered landscape adds a touch of serenity to the scene. Religion plays a significant role in this artwork, as it portrays elements of Christianity and Orthodox practices. Lent, a period of fasting and reflection leading up to Easter, is symbolized through the plants carried by the couple. These plants are believed to have cleansing properties that aid in spiritual purification. The vibrant colors used by Perov bring life to this historic moment captured on canvas. The warm hues contrast beautifully with the snowy backdrop, creating a visually striking composition. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into Russian culture during the 19th century while highlighting religious customs intertwined with everyday life. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and provide us with valuable insights into our history and traditions.
