EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the regal presence of Alexander II Mikhailovich, also known as Alexander the Brave or Alexander of Novgorod, who ruled as Prince of Novgorod and Grand Prince of Vladimir in the early 14th century. Born as the son of Mikhail II, Alexander's reign was brief but significant, lasting from 1327 to 1328. Alexander's lineage can be traced back to the Rurik Dynasty, the historical foundation of the Russian state. However, his tenure was marked by the looming threat of the Tartar invasion. Despite the challenges, Alexander displayed remarkable courage and determination, earning him the moniker 'the Brave.' The Tartars, led by Khan Uzbek, had previously sacked Moscow in 1327, and their advance towards Novgorod seemed imminent. Alexander, recognizing the severity of the situation, rallied his forces and led a successful defense against the invaders. This victory, though short-lived, bought precious time for the Russian people and allowed them to regroup and prepare for future battles. This print, with its intricate details and striking colors, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the fate of the Russian lands hung in the balance. The image of Alexander II Mikhailovich, with his resolute expression and regal attire, serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit of the Russian people and their leaders in the face of adversity.
