EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate costume design for the opera Prince Igor by A. Borodin, created in 1914 by the talented artist Nicholas Roerich. Found in the esteemed collection of the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, this piece transports us to a world of music, painting, and theatre. The image depicts a group of skomorokhs, jesters and pranksters from ancient Russia known for their wit and buffoonery. Dressed in vibrant attire that reflects their playful nature, they are poised on stage ready to entertain audiences with their lively performances. Roerich's watercolour and gouache on paper technique beautifully captures the essence of these mischievous characters against a backdrop reminiscent of Kievan Rus. The set design evokes a sense of history as it portrays elements from Russian folklore intertwined with symbolism. As we delve into this scene from Prince Igor, we are transported back to an era where troubadours roamed freely and Polovtsian tribes engaged in battle. The opera tells the tale of Igor Svyatoslavich, prince of Kiev, who encounters Khan Konchak and his Polovtsy warriors during his campaign. With its rich classical music score composed by Alexander Borodin combined with Roerich's stunning visual interpretation through scenic painting, this production immerses viewers into Russian history like never before. This remarkable artwork not only pays homage to Russian culture but also highlights Roerich's mastery as an artist whose work continues
