This portrait print showcases Riourik (also known as Riurik, Rurik Rouri), a Varangian chieftain and the esteemed founder of Kievan Rus. Dating back to the 9th century, this image provides a glimpse into the life and legacy of this influential figure. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing Riourik's commanding presence. His aristocratic stature is emphasized by his regal attire, complete with an ornate helmet that symbolizes his status as a leader. The intricate engravings on the helmet reflect both his power and sophistication. Riourik's face tells a story of wisdom and strength acquired through years of leadership. His well-groomed beard adds an air of authority while also hinting at his noble lineage. This portrait truly embodies the essence of Russian nobility during this era. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness the birth of Kievan Rus under Riourik's guidance. It serves as a reminder that great civilizations often owe their existence to visionary leaders like him. Preserved within private collections for centuries, this print from Maurice La Charest's New National Encyclopedia allows us to appreciate Stefano Bianchetti's artistic interpretation of history. Through its vibrant colors and meticulous details, it immortalizes Riourik as not only a prince but also an enduring symbol of medieval greatness.
