The Painting by Roerich “Pieta”
“Pieta” (“Grieving”) was written by Svyatoslav Roerich in the year of the death of his brother Yuri Nikolaevich. The Biblical theme – the mourning of Christ – served as a means for revealing the artist’s profound spiritual experiences; The picture is addressed to all those who know how to feel compassion, who bear grief of loss.
The picture “Pieta” tells about all-human sorrow. Svyatoslav Roerich introduces into the picture the second female figure, and gives his interpretation of this explanation:
“This is a universal theme, a hero who sacrificed his life for others, and his mother and a loving woman who somehow took part in the feat prepared a hero for him, and perhaps their grief is stronger than the suffering of the deceased. Who is able to measure the depth of a mother’s grief or a loving woman who is losing the most precious to them? And this is repeated in life always and everywhere. The heroic deed
The father of the artist wrote: “The war is hard, but even more difficult is the post-war recovery. When the foundations of culture are endangered, when the body and spirit of the person are anxious and suffering from bloody wounds, then a certain peaceful miracle-working force rises above everything, the purpose of which is to heal the man, dissonances and insanities, and lead him to the mind of the heart with gentle touches of spirituality. This force is the Eternal Feminine Beginning. When it is difficult in the house, we address a woman who herself was baptized in the fire of suffering. aschaemsya to the woman, whose heart aches from the wounds inflicted culture and spirit. “
Tagore said: “I will not pray not to be saved from dangers, but to be fearless in a confrontation with them.” I will not pray for the pacification of pain, but for the heart to prevail against it. “
