Vladimir the Great's campaign to Chersonesos is depicted in a striking painting from 1904, showcasing his military prowess and expansionist ambitions that shaped early Russian history. Saint Olga, Princess of Kiev, revered for her conversion to Christianity and subsequent efforts to spread the faith throughout Rus', is immortalized by Nikolai Alexandrovich Bruni's artwork from the second half of the 19th century. The marriage between Ivan III and Sophia Palaiologina in 1472 marked a pivotal moment when Byzantine influence merged with Russian traditions. Boris Artemyevich Chorikov captures this union beautifully in his masterpiece from 1836. Mikhail Vasilyevich Nesterov portrays Saint Olga once again in his stunning artwork dating back to 1885-1896. The ethereal depiction showcases her spiritual strength and unwavering devotion. The fall of Novgorod serves as a reminder of political upheaval within Rus'.
