EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating painting by Nicholas Roerich that showcases his mastery of symbolism and historical storytelling. In this fine art piece, Roerich transports us to the banks of the Dnieper River, where a sailing boat stands ready for an epic campaign. The artist's use of tempera on canvas brings vibrant life to every detail, from the rippling waters of the river to the majestic ship itself. The settlement in the background hints at rural commune life during ancient times, evoking a sense of nostalgia for Russian history and its Slavic roots. Roerich skillfully incorporates Viking imagery into this scene, with references to Varangians and Varyags – guests from overseas who played a significant role in trade routes between Scandinavia and Byzantium. This painting alludes to one such route known as "the Varangian Way" which connected these distant lands through waterways like the Varangian Sea. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves embarking on an adventure along these historic trade routes. Roerich's attention to detail and his ability to capture both beauty and historical significance make "Ready for the Campaign (The Varangian Sea)" a true masterpiece that continues to captivate viewers today. This particular print can be found in the collection of Moscow's International Centre of the Roerichs, serving as a testament to Roerich's enduring legacy as
