The Pagans killed the first Christians of Kievan Rus
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative oil painting by Vasilij Ivanovic Surikov, created in 1884. The artwork, housed at the State K. Savitsky Art Museum in Pensa, captures a significant historical event with great intensity. In this provincial scene, we witness the brutal persecution of early Russian Christians by pagan soldiers in Kiev. Surikov's masterful brushstrokes convey the chaos and violence that unfolded during this dark period of history. The painting serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by those who dared to embrace Christianity amidst deeply ingrained traditions and beliefs. The composition focuses on a group of peasants, representing the first Christian converts, being mercilessly attacked by armed soldiers. Their expressions reveal fear and desperation while their oppressors exude an air of aggression and dominance. Through this visual narrative, Surikov highlights themes such as religious conflict, cultural clashes, and human resilience. "The Pagans killed the first Christians of Kievan Rus" not only depicts an important historical event but also reflects upon broader issues surrounding religion and tradition within Russian society. It invites viewers to contemplate how faith can be both a unifying force and a source of division among communities. This piece serves as a testament to Surikov's artistic prowess in capturing complex emotions through his brushwork while shedding light on significant moments from Russia's past.
