Abstract. The author considers the rare example of wall paintings in the churches of North-Eastern Rus' - the portrayals of holy fools. The phenomenon of being folly for the sake of Christ having Eastern roots acquires its national individuality more often in Russian iconic images and rarer in other types of cult art of the Middle Ages (fresco, embroidery, toreutics, book miniature). In this article the author presents the results of her own search of saint ascetics' portrayals in the paintings of the churches of great Russian towns - Novgorod, Rostov and Ustyug. The considered period is the XIVth-XVIIth centuries.
