The Death of Askold and Dir, 1832
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the early Rus period in Russian history. This fine art image, part of a private collection, depicts a pivotal moment in the chronicles of Novgorod the Great. The etching by Fyodor Antonovich Bruni skillfully captures the intensity and drama surrounding the demise of two legendary figures - Askold and Dir. These valiant rulers were leaders of Novgorodians who fiercely defended their city against invaders during the Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this neoclassical masterpiece, we are transported to a time when Slavic peoples fought for their land's sovereignty. The graphic arts technique employed here brings life to historical events that shaped Russia's destiny. The Radzivill Chronicle serves as an important source for understanding this era, providing valuable insights into Rurikid rule and Viking influence on Kievan Rus. It was during these times that Varangians or Vikings played significant roles in shaping political landscapes across Ukraine and Russia. Through this photo print, we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It reminds us of our rich past and invites us to delve deeper into Russian history. Let it serve as a reminder of the bravery exhibited by our ancestors while igniting curiosity about their stories yet untold.
