Menology of the Month of August, 1750-1800: A Glimpse into the 18th Century Russian Orthodox Tradition This exquisite Menology print, created between 1750 and 1800 by the renowned Novgorod School, offers a captivating glimpse into the religious and cultural heritage of Russia during the 18th century. The image portrays a group of people, including men, women, and children, gathered around the Madonna and Child, celebrating the eighth month of the year, August. The painting, which is now housed in the Petit Palais Museum in Paris, showcases the intricate details of the clothing worn during this period. The Madonna, dressed in a golden robe adorned with precious stones, holds the infant Jesus, who wears a red and brown tunic and a golden cap. The people in the painting are dressed in traditional Russian clothing, with the women wearing long, flowing robes and the men in simple brown garments. The concept of Menology, or the veneration of the saints and the commemoration of their feast days, was an essential part of Russian Orthodox Christianity. This painting represents the celebration of the month of August, during which the feast days of several saints were observed, including St. Mary of Refuge (Stella Maris) and Our Lady of the Sea (Santa Maria). The painting's rich colors and intricate details offer a window into the past, providing a glimpse into the daily life and religious practices of the Russian people during the 18th century. The Novgorod School, a significant artistic institution in Russia during this period, is known for its mastery of religious themes and its ability to capture the essence of Russian heritage and tradition. This Menology print is a testament to the enduring influence of the Orthodox faith and the artistic legacy of the Novgorod School.
