EDITORS COMMENTS
by Nicholas Roerich is a captivating piece of art that takes us back to the enchanting world of early Rus. This exquisite print, found in the collection of State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, showcases Roerich's mastery in capturing both allegory and literature through fine art. In this painting, Roerich delves into the rich folklore and mythology of Kievan Rus during the Middle Ages. The artist skillfully depicts a pagan hillock adorned with idols, transporting us to an era where ancient traditions and beliefs thrived. The slavic peoples come alive as we witness their devotion to these symbolic figures. Roerich's use of gouache on cardboard adds depth and texture to his work, enhancing its historical significance. Through this medium, he brings forth the essence of Russian history while paying homage to traditional artistic techniques. As we gaze upon "Idols" we are transported into a realm where paganism reigns supreme - a time when idol worship was deeply ingrained within society. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' spiritual connection with nature and their unwavering faith in higher powers. This remarkable artwork not only captures our imagination but also invites us to delve deeper into Russia's cultural heritage. It stands as a testament to Nicholas Roerich's talent for intertwining history, symbolism, and mythological elements seamlessly within his paintings – an enduring legacy that continues to inspire generations today.
