EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval Russian history. Titled "Novgorod veche. The Lamentation over Prince Mstislav Mstislavich" this anonymous artwork is part of the Illuminated Compiled Chronicle, dating back to the second half of the 16th century. The image depicts a poignant scene from the Middle Ages, capturing the sorrowful moment when Prince Mstislav Mstislavich meets his tragic fate. Created with watercolor on parchment, this illuminated manuscript exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic finesse prevalent in old Russian art. The Novgorod Veche, or assembly, was an integral part of Novgorod Republic's governance structure during its feudal era. However, as depicted in this illustration, it ultimately succumbed to external forces leading to its fall. This event marks a significant turning point in Novgorod's history and highlights Moscow School's influence at that time. Preserved within the collection of Russian National Library in St. Petersburg, this rare find offers us a glimpse into Russia's rich cultural heritage and serves as an invaluable source for studying historical events such as the Battle of Kalka River. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this illuminated compiled chronicle transports viewers back to a bygone era where art intertwined with storytelling. It stands as a testament to human creativity and reminds us of our connection to our ancestors through their enduring works of art.
