Archimandrite Sophrony, Sergei Sakharov (1896–1993), was one of the founders of the "Being" society of artists in Moscow in the post-revolutionary years. An intense period of spiritual quest led him to faith in Christ, and he abandoned painting to devote himself to prayer. He became an Orthodox monk and then a priest on Mount Athos. After many years of asceticism, he again turned to painting in an attempt to depict true Being, but now in icons of Christ and saints. This book presents the iconography of Father Sophrony and talks about his artistic development, his understanding of prayer, freedom and creativity.
