EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Russian Army capturing Narva on May 11,1558" takes us back to a significant moment in Russian history. Created by the talented artist Boris Artemyevich Chorikov in 1836, this lithograph beautifully depicts the intense siege of Narva during the Livonian War. Intriguingly detailed, the artwork showcases Tsar Ivan IV the Terrible's forces as they conquer the Hanseatic League stronghold. The composition skillfully captures the chaos and determination of both sides involved in this historic conflict. With its meticulous attention to historical accuracy, this print offers a glimpse into Russia's past and its expansionist ambitions during that era. The grandeur of Moscow Principality is evident through Chorikov's masterful brushstrokes. The fortress of Narva stands tall against a backdrop of Baltic Sea waves crashing onto Estonia's shores. As we observe closely, we can see Strelets troops and Palace Guardsmen fighting valiantly alongside Ivan IV's army. This print not only commemorates an important military victory but also serves as a testament to Russia's growing power under Ivan IV and his Rurik dynasty. Preserved within the collection of Russian State Library in Moscow, it allows us to delve deep into our shared history and appreciate how these events shaped modern-day Russia. As we admire Chorikov's artistic prowess and attention to detail, let us remember that this piece holds immense historical value beyond its aesthetic appeal.
