EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving depicts Ivan III Vasilyevich, also known as Ivan the Great (1440-1505), the Grand Prince of Moscow and the first Tsar of Russia. The image, created in the 15th or early 16th century, showcases Ivan's regal presence and authority. He is portrayed wearing a fur-trimmed cap, a symbol of Russian royalty, and a long, flowing beard, which was a common characteristic of medieval rulers. Ivan's profile is turned slightly to the side, and he gazes intently forward, holding a sword in his right hand. This powerful image underscores Ivan's role as a mighty ruler and military leader during the Middle Ages. Ivan the Great is an essential figure in Russian history, as he marked the end of the Rurikid dynasty and the beginning of the Tsardom of Russia. His reign was marked by significant territorial expansion, including the annexation of Novgorod and the establishment of the Moscow Grand Duchy as a major European power. Ivan's legacy extended beyond his military conquests, as he also played a crucial role in the development of Russian culture and the Orthodox Church. This engraving, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Russia during the Middle Ages. The unknown artist's mastery of the medium captures the essence of Ivan III Vasilyevich, a man who shaped the course of Russian history and left an indelible mark on the world.
