EDITORS COMMENTS

Created by Fyodor Antonovich Bruni, this artwork depicts a pivotal moment in Ukrainian history before 1839. The image showcases a powerful man on horseback, adorned in majestic armor, surrounded by an aura of mystery. This evocative scene delves into the realms of dreams and magic, as it explores the rich folklore and mythology of Russia. The grand duke's knightly presence symbolizes strength and heroism while hinting at the timeless struggle between good and evil. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Russian fairy tales and epic poetry from the Middle Ages. Through intricate graphic arts techniques, Bruni brings to life Slavic legends and their legendary rulers. This lithograph serves as both an homage to classicism and a testament to Russian history. With its references to Kievian Rus, Rurikid dynasty, Novgorod the Great, and other significant historical figures like Oleg himself - also known as Oleg the Wise or Oleg of Novgorod - this artwork immerses viewers in ancient times when statesmen were revered for their wisdom. "The Death of Grand Duke Oleg" stands as a visual representation of old Russian legends known as "bylinas" showcasing Bogatyrs (epic heroes) who defended their land with valor. It invites us to delve into our collective past while marveling at Bruni's artistic prowess
