"Simon Zealot" is a painting by Russian contemporary artist Konstantin Korobov. The painting depicts Simon, an apostle of Jesus, in a moment of intense prayer. The composition is characterized by strong contrasts and dramatic lighting, with the figure of Simon illuminated in the center while the surrounding figures, an angel and a man with a saw, are shrouded in shadow. This juxtaposition of light and dark, combined with the subject matter, creates a sense of tension and foreboding. The detail of the saw, likely a symbol of Simon's impending martyrdom, further emphasizes the painting's somber tone.
