EDITORS COMMENTS
The print depicts a powerful and haunting scene from Russian history, capturing the episode of self-immolation during the schism of the Orthodox Church in 1666-1667. In protest against the reforms imposed by the Moscow Patriarchate, certain Old Believers chose to immolate themselves as a desperate act of defiance against what they believed would be the end of Russian Orthodoxy and the apocalypse. Painted by Grigori Grigoryevich Myasoyedov in 1884, this oil on canvas artwork showcases his mastery in capturing emotions and telling stories through art. The vibrant colors bring life to this tragic event that unfolded centuries ago. Displayed at the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, this painting serves as a reminder of Russia's tumultuous religious past. It explores themes such as faith, fanaticism, revolt, superstition, and even madness. The figures depicted are both men and women who made an ultimate sacrifice for their beliefs. This image is not only a testament to historical events but also highlights how art can convey profound human experiences across time. It invites viewers to reflect on religious devotion and its impact on individuals' lives throughout history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this significant piece of Russian cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
