EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1855, offering a glimpse into the world of Russian Orthodox monks. The engraving, created by an unknown artist from the 19th century, showcases a figure of great spiritual devotion and tranquility. The monk's austere appearance is accentuated by his long flowing beard and traditional religious garments. His eyes seem to hold ancient wisdom as he gazes into the distance, perhaps contemplating matters of faith or engaging in silent prayer. This image serves as a testament to the enduring power of religious devotion within Russian culture. Set against a backdrop that hints at Moscow's architectural grandeur, this engraving captures not only the individual monk but also reflects upon Russia's rich Christian heritage. It symbolizes Christendom's deep roots within this vast nation and its people. Leonard de Selva skillfully photographed this remarkable piece from his private collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. Through his lens, we are able to witness the intricate details of each stroke made by the original artist. As we admire this timeless representation of spirituality and commitment to God, let us reflect on our own beliefs and values while appreciating the beauty found in different religious traditions around the world.
