The Candle (Easter short story)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and evocative colour litho print that transports us to the rural landscapes of early 20th century Russia. In this enchanting scene, we witness a farmer diligently ploughing his fields with the help of a majestic horse. As the furrows are carved into the earth, an unexpected sight catches our attention - a humble 5 kopek candle firmly stuck onto the plough. This intriguing image is inspired by "Le Cierge, Conte de Paques" or "The Candle (Easter short story)", which was originally published in Le Petit Parisien on April 19th, 1908. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of springtime farming and Easter traditions in Russian countryside. Amidst vast fields and endless horizons, peasants watch attentively as their fellow farmer works tirelessly to prepare the land for planting season. The soft glow of candlelight illuminates their faces, symbolizing hope and renewal during this sacred time of year. The juxtaposition between ancient agricultural practices and modern technology is evident through the presence of both horse-drawn ploughs and candles as essential tools in this timeless scene. It serves as a reminder that despite advancements in agriculture, tradition still holds its place within farming communities. Through this exquisite artwork by French School from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the beauty and simplicity of rural life during Easter season in Russia.
