EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Baptism of Grand Princess Olga of Kiev" transports us back to the year 955 in ancient Russia. Created by Boris Artemyevich Chorikov in 1836, this fine art print captures a significant moment in Russian history and Christian tradition. In the image, we witness the grand ceremony of Princess Olga's baptism into Christianity. As a member of the Rurik Dynasty and ruler of Kievan Rus, her conversion holds immense importance for both political and religious reasons. The artwork beautifully portrays the ornate Orthodox Church setting, adorned with intricate details that reflect the rich cultural heritage and traditional folklore associated with Slavic peoples. Princess Olga stands at the center of attention as she is anointed with holy water by a bishop. This pivotal event marked not only her personal spiritual transformation but also symbolized the Christianization process spreading throughout early Rus. Saint Olga's unwavering devotion to her newfound faith earned her recognition as one of Russia's most revered saints. Chorikov's lithograph masterfully captures this historical moment while paying homage to Russian orthodoxy and its deep roots within society. Preserved within the collection of Russian State Library in Moscow, this print serves as a testament to our shared human history and reminds us of how religion has shaped cultures across time.
