EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Rurik, Sineus and Truvor. The Invitation of the Varangians, 862" takes us back to a significant moment in Russian history. Created by Boris Artemyevich Chorikov in 1836, this artwork beautifully depicts the legendary founding of Kievan Rus. The scene transports us to Novgorod the Great during the Middle Ages when Slavic tribes sought unity and leadership. Three brothers, Rurik, Sineus, and Truvor stand prominently at the forefront of this print. As members of the Varangian tribe from Scandinavia known as Varyags or Vikings, they were invited by Novgorodians to bring order and stability to their land. Chorikov's attention to detail is remarkable; every element within this lithograph tells a story. From Rurik's commanding presence as he holds his sword aloft symbolizing strength and authority, to Sineus' thoughtful expression reflecting wisdom and diplomacy, each character exudes significance. The artist skillfully captures not only historical accuracy but also emotion through his use of light and shadow. The grandeur of Velikiy Novgorod can be seen in the background with its towering architecture representing power and prosperity. As we gaze upon this piece from the collection of Russian State Library in Moscow today, we are reminded of how these events shaped Russia's early history. This lithograph serves as a testament to Chorikov's
