Ivan Sergeyevich Shmelev (1873-1950) was a Russian writer and publicist, twice nominated for the Nobel Prize, nicknamed the 'Orthodox writer' for his numerous texts on the spirituality of the Russian people. While in emigration, 'not for a moment in his spiritual fervor does he stop thinking about Russia and agonizing over its misfortunes.'
In the novella 'The Unquenchable Cup,' written during incredibly difficult times for the author, a sense of spiritual joy predominates, arising in the heart of a deeply believing person when touching a holy place. From the life story of a pious artist, one realizes what it means to lead a truly humble life. Born on a peasant farm, the son of serfs Ilya Sharonov discovers his gift as an artist from a young age and, by the grace of a young master, goes abroad to study the art of painting. Over time, nostalgia for the past brings him back to his homeland, where he is entrusted with painting the newly built church. He lives righteously until his death, sharing light through the strokes of his brush.
One of his works, an icon of the Mother of God, continues to bring comfort and healing to those who suffer to this day.
