EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Death of Askold and Dir" an anonymous masterpiece found in the esteemed Collection of Russian State Library, Moscow. The chromolithography technique employed in this fine art image beautifully captures the essence of early Rus history. Depicting a pivotal moment in Russian history, this artwork transports us back to the Middle Ages when Novgorod the Great was at its zenith. The scene unfolds with dramatic intensity as two legendary figures, Askold and Dir, meet their tragic fate. These valiant warriors were leaders of Novgorodians who bravely defended their land against invaders. The composition skillfully portrays the clash between Slavic peoples and Varangians (Vikings) during the Viking Age. As Rurikids, descendants of Rurik himself, they fought fiercely for their homeland's independence from foreign rule. This historical event symbolizes both resistance against external forces and internal power struggles within Kievan Rus. Through this photo print, we glimpse into a significant chapter in Russian history that shaped its identity. It serves as a poignant reminder of Novgorod's glorious past and its unwavering spirit. With utmost respect for non-commercial use only, this remarkable piece invites us to appreciate not just its artistic value but also delve deeper into Russia's rich cultural heritage.
