EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Philarete, Metropolitan of Moscow" takes us back to 19th century Russia and offers a glimpse into the religious landscape of the time. The image portrays Philarete, a prominent figure in Russian Orthodoxy who served as the Metropolitan of Moscow. Dressed in his elaborate ecclesiastical robes, Philarete exudes an air of wisdom and authority. His face is serene yet commanding, reflecting his deep devotion to his faith and his role as a spiritual leader. The intricate details captured by the English School artist highlight the opulence and grandeur associated with religious figures during this period. The engraving was originally created for publication in the Illustrated Times on October 18,1856. It serves as a testament to both Philarete's significance within Russian society and the enduring power of religion in shaping cultural identity. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported not only to historic Russia but also reminded of the universal nature of religious orders across different regions and cultures. This artwork invites contemplation on themes such as spirituality, tradition, and the profound influence that clergy members hold over their communities. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from its private collection so that viewers can appreciate its artistic beauty while gaining insight into an important chapter in Russian history.
