''Inexhaustible Chalice'' (Russian: Неупиваемая Чаша) is a 1921 novella by Ivan Shmelyov.
It chronicles the life of a dreamy peasant-born painter Ilya Sharonov, culminating in a (completely fictional) account of him becoming the one to paint the Inexhaustible Chalice icon of the Mother of God (a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inexhaustible_Chalice real icon]] venerated in the Orthodox Church).
!! Tropes featured in the novella:
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: It's not known who painted the Inexhaustible Chalice icon in RealLife, but when it was discovered, it already depicted both the Mother of God and Christ Child. In the novella, Ilya paints only the Mother of God, and the picture of Christ is added much later.

* FirstLove: Ilya first falls in love with Lucesca, a quiet, petite Italian girl, but doesn't dare to ask her anything, only making a sketch of her.
* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: Ilya has the misfortune of being ''both'' FishOutOfWater and this trope. In Europe, he misses his homeland, and after coming back, he misses the joy of Italy.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Everyone calls Anastasia a saint. Even during the 1905 revolution, when the cemetery of Lyapunovka is ransacked, her grave is left untouched.
