EDITORS COMMENTS
This Menology print, created by the esteemed Novgorod school between 1750 and 1800, showcases the eighth month of the year, August. The painting depicts a group of people gathered in front of a golden, ornate building, likely an institution of the Orthodox Christian faith. At the center stands the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, dressed in a brown robe and holding the infant Jesus. The Christ Child, dressed in a simple white garment, reaches out towards his mother, while the Madonna gazes down at him with a tender expression. To the left, a brown-robed Christ Antiphonetes, or reader, stands with open book in hand, while to the right, a man and woman, dressed in 18th century French fashion, bow in reverence. The children, also dressed in the clothing of the time, join in the devotional scene. This painting, now housed in the Petit Palais in Paris, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Russia and the enduring influence of Christianity on its people. The intricate details of the building exterior, the golden accents, and the realistic portrayal of the figures all contribute to the timeless beauty of this Menology of the month of August. The painting's title, "Our Lady of Refuge," speaks to the role of the Virgin Mary as a source of comfort and protection for her people, a role that continues to be celebrated in the Orthodox faith and beyond.
