EDITORS COMMENTS
Sadko's Farewell: A Scene from the Russian Medieval Epic by Ivan Bilibin (1903) In this evocative print by Russian artist Ivan Bilibin, we witness a poignant moment from the medieval Russian epic, Sadko. The title character, depicted here, is Sadko, a renowned adventurer, merchant, and gusli musician from the ancient city of Novgorod. With a heartfelt wave and doff of his cap, Sadko bids farewell to his loved ones as he prepares to embark on another journey. The setting is the bustling marketplace of Novgorod, where merchants and traders exchange goods and stories. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the print capture the richness and diversity of medieval Russian culture. The crowd in the background, dressed in traditional garb, adds to the sense of history and authenticity. Sadko's gusli, a Russian stringed instrument, lies at his feet, a reminder of his musical talents and the power of music to bring people together. The epic of Sadko is a beloved Russian folktale, passed down through generations, and this print by Bilibin captures the essence of the character and the spirit of the story. Bilibin's masterful use of color, composition, and detail brings the medieval world to life, transporting us back in time to experience the history and culture of Russia's past. This print is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the beauty of Russia's rich artistic heritage.
