Olgas Avenge to the Drevlians - A Glimpse into Ancient Slavic History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, created by artist Fyodor Antonovich Bruni in the 19th century, showcases a pivotal moment in Ukrainian and Russian folklore. The artwork is titled "Olgas Avenge to the Drevlians" depicting an event that occurred before 1839. The image takes us back to the Middle Ages, specifically to Kievan Rus, where Princess Olga of Kiev seeks retribution against the treacherous Drevlian tribe. With its rich symbolism and attention to detail, this lithograph transports us into a world steeped in tradition and Christianity. Princess Olga's story is one of strength and cunning. Legend has it that after her husband's murder by the Drevlians, she embarked on a mission for justice. In this scene, we witness her masterful plan unfolding as she orchestrates their demise during a christening ceremony. Bruni's artistic style reflects classicism while capturing elements of Slavic culture. Through his meticulous graphic arts technique, he brings life to historical figures such as Prince Igor Svyatoslavich and Saint Olga herself. This remarkable piece not only sheds light on Russian history but also highlights the resilience of early Rus amidst conflicts with Polovtsian tribes like Kipchaks and Polovtsians. It serves as a testament to Russia's enduring spirit throughout centuries of turmoil. Displayed
