Mikhail Nesterov, Vision of Youth Bartholomew 1889-1890.

The story is taken from the book "The Life of St. Sergius" written by his 

disciple Epiphanius the Wise.

The image of Sergius Radozhenskiy (in the world Bartholomew, rus. 

Varfolomei) was for Nesterov the embodiment of morality.

The painting became a sensation, and Nesterov himself considered 

it his best work until the end of his days.
