EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the horrifying Russian atrocities that took place in Livonia during July and August of 1577. The anonymous artist skillfully depicts the brutal events, shedding light on a dark chapter in Russian history. From Johann Jakob Wicks Sammlung von Nachrichten, this historical artwork was discovered in the esteemed collection of Zentralbibliothek Zurich. The image transports us back to a time when Tsar Ivan IV, famously known as Ivan the Terrible, ruled over Russia with an iron fist. As part of his autocratic reign and ambition for expansion, Livonia became a battleground for his forces during the Livonian War. The watercolour and ink medium used by the artist adds depth and intensity to each stroke, effectively conveying the chaos and violence that unfolded. Intriguingly, we witness Strelets troops - palace guardsmen from Moscow - mercilessly ravaging Koknese under Ivan's command. This depiction serves as a testament to both their loyalty to their tsar and their ruthlessness towards Livonian inhabitants. Through this piece of fine art imagery, we gain insight into not only Russian monarchy but also its tumultuous history during this period. It is a stark reminder of how power dynamics can lead to immense suffering for those caught in its wake.
