EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic image of St. Cyril and St. Methodius, two revered Bulgarian educators from the 9th century. The photograph captures a painting by the Bulgarian School in the 19th century, which is now housed in the Veliko Tarnovo Museum in Bulgaria. In this remarkable artwork, we see St. Cyril on the left and St. Methodius on the right, both adorned with crowns symbolizing their status as apostles and missionaries of Slavic lands. They are depicted holding a Bible, emphasizing their role as biblical scholars and educators. Studying their expressions, one can sense their wisdom and devotion to spreading knowledge among their people. Their long beards add an air of authority while also representing their commitment to a life of piety. As apostles of Slavs, these saints played a crucial role in shaping not only religious but also cultural history by creating an alphabet known as Cyrillic script that enabled Slavic languages to be written down for future generations. This powerful icon serves as a reminder of these great figures who dedicated themselves to education and faith during challenging times. It stands as a testament to their enduring legacy as well-respected educators who continue to inspire countless individuals today. The Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images allows us access to this extraordinary piece without any commercial implications – simply appreciating its historical significance and artistic beauty
