Dmitry Donskoy, the valiant prince of Moscow, is immortalized in Russian art and history through his legendary victories. From the single combat against Temir-murza on Kulikovo Field in 1380, depicted in Mavriki Petrovich Jacobi's painting, to his approval of a new order of succession in 1389, as shown in Boris Artemyevich Chorikov's work. Donskoy's battles, including the one on the Snipes Field, are commemorated in various art pieces, such as Orest Adamovich Kiprensky's painting and Andrei Petrovich Ryabushkin's depiction. The spiritual connection between Donskoy and saints like Chariton the Confessor, Barlaam of Khutyn, and Sergius of Radonezh is also portrayed in Russian icons, including those from the 15th and 19th centuries. Mikhail Vasilyevich Nesterov's Saint Sergius of Radonezh painting further emphasizes the spiritual and military significance of this great prince in Russian history.
