EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a bygone era, immersing us in the enchanting world of Russian fairy tales. Created in 1899 by Ivan Bilibin, a renowned artist of his time, this colour lithograph transports us into the heart of a mystical narrative. The scene depicts Tsarevitch Ivan embarking on an extraordinary quest alongside the Firebird and the Gray Wolf. This folk tale, collected by Alexander Afanasyev in Narodnye russkie skazki, tells the story of their pursuit for the golden bird or firebird. In this image, we witness Ivan riding gallantly atop the wolf while Helen the Beautiful gracefully rides her horse beside him. As we delve deeper into this artwork's intricate details, we are captivated by its rich symbolism and artistic style. The medieval forest setting with towering trees creates an atmosphere filled with mystery and adventure. The vibrant colors used in this piece reflect elements of Art Nouveau and Secession Jugendstil movements prevalent during that period. With arrows at hand and a princess adorned with a crown nearby, it is evident that danger lurks within these woods. Yet amidst all odds, our protagonists gallop fearlessly through nature's embrace as they chase their destiny. This print not only showcases Bilibin's exceptional talent but also serves as a reminder of how art can transport us to fantastical realms where anything is possible. It invites viewers to rediscover beloved children's stories while appreciating the beauty found within each brushstroke.
