EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph print titled "Mstislav I appointed Rogvolod to Prince of Polotsk. 1128" takes us back to the rich history of Russia during the Middle Ages. Created by Boris Artemyevich Chorikov in 1836, this artwork captures a significant moment in Russian history. In this scene, Mstislav I Vladimirovich, also known as Mstislav the Great, is seen appointing Rogvolod Vseslavich as the Prince of Polotsk. The year is 1128 and Kievan Rus is at its height, with Mstislav serving as the Grand Duke of Kiev. This event marks an important political decision that would shape the future of both Polotsk and Kievan Rus. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life. From the elaborate clothing worn by these noble figures to their regal postures, every aspect exudes power and authority. The lithograph technique adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its overall visual impact. This print not only showcases key figures from Russian history but also highlights their roles within a complex web of alliances and rivalries among ruling dynasties like Rurikids. It serves as a reminder of how ancient Russia was shaped by influential rulers such as Mstislav I and his decisions regarding regional leadership. Preserved in the collection of Russian State Library in Moscow, this artwork allows us to delve into early Rus' history while appreciating Chorikov's artistic talent for capturing historical moments on paper.
