On the eve of the October Revolution, the Russian prince Evgeny Trubetskoy announced “one of the greatest and most paradoxical events in the recent history of Russian culture” – the “unveiling of the icon before our very eyes.” He felt “compelled to speak now of this unveiling,” as he wrote, because up to that point “everything about the icon had been hidden from our view – lines, colors, and especially the spiritual meaning of this thing that is unique in the world of art. And in fact, it is precisely this meaning that keeps our Russian epic alive.”[1]
