EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century portrait captures the essence of Tsarevich Demetrius, a figure shrouded in both tragedy and mystery. Painted by an anonymous artist, this fine art piece is now housed in the Regional Art Gallery in Tver. Tsarevich Demetrius was a significant character during Russia's tumultuous Time of Troubles. As the successor to the throne, his life was cut short at a tender age when he met a tragic end in Uglich in 1591. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of his untimely demise and the impact it had on Russian history. The artist skillfully depicts Tsarevich Demetrius with an air of nobility and grace befitting his aristocratic lineage. The rich colors and intricate details highlight the influence of icon painting prevalent during that era, showcasing its significance within Orthodox Church traditions. Through this artwork, we are transported back to Muscovy's grand duchy days, where power struggles among tsars were commonplace. Tsar Boris Godunov's reign played a pivotal role during this period known as "Smuta" or time of troubles. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we cannot help but reflect on the enigmatic life and premature death of Tsarevich Demetrius – forever immortalized through old Russian art.
