Menology of the Month for February: A Noble Russian Man in Eighteenth-Century Novgorod This evocative Menology of the Month print, created by the esteemed Novgorod School between 1750 and 1800, showcases a noble Russian man standing proudly before us in a full-length portrait. Dressed in the ornate and richly patterned clothing typical of the eighteenth century, his robe is adorned with intricate golden designs, adding an air of opulence and grandeur. The deep red hue of his garment contrasts beautifully with the muted colors of the background, drawing our focus to the subject. This painting, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Russia, is a reminder of the religious significance of the Menology of the Month series. The Menology, or Menaion, is a liturgical calendar used in the Orthodox Church to commemorate saints and other religious observances throughout the year. Each month featured a different saint or religious theme, and this particular print represents the Menology for the month of February. The man's stoic expression and regal posture suggest a connection to the religious institutions of the time, perhaps reflecting his role as a patron or a devout follower. The painting's provenance is the Novgorod School, an important artistic institution in medieval Russia, located in the historic city of Velikiy Novgorod. This piece is now housed in the Petit Palais Museum in Paris, where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world. A stunning example of the artistic achievements of the eighteenth century, this Menology of the Month print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of faith, tradition, and exquisite craftsmanship.
