EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Les Fetes de Kiew, La benediction du Dnieper" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print captures the scene of Vladimir's baptism with his entire army in 988. The image showcases the solemnity and grandeur of this event as it took place on July 27th (or July 15th according to another source) at the location where Vladimir was baptized. The engraving beautifully depicts the blessing of the Dnieper River, an act that symbolizes sanctification and divine intervention. Through intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, we witness Vladimir standing alongside his army as they are blessed by religious figures. The historical significance of this moment cannot be understated, as it marked a turning point for Russia and its people. This artwork originally appeared as an illustration for Le Monde Illustre in 1888. It offers us a glimpse into Russian history while showcasing the artistic talent of the time. As we admire this print from a private collection today, let us reflect on how pivotal events like these shape nations and cultures. This engraving serves as a reminder of our shared past and invites us to appreciate both historical moments and artistic expressions that capture them so vividly.
