EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Flying Carpet, 1919-20" by Victor Vasnetsov takes viewers on a whimsical journey into the realm of Russian folklore. In this enchanting artwork, we witness Ivan the Fool, a beloved character from traditional tales, being transported through the night sky on a magical flying carpet. The artist skillfully captures the atmospheric beauty of this mystical scene with his expert use of oil on canvas. As Ivan soars above the clouds, dressed in an intriguing costume that adds to the air of mystery and fantasy, he is accompanied by his lover. Together they embark on an exotic adventure beyond thrice-nine lands and into the thrice-ten kingdom. The vibrant red hues of their attire contrast against the misty backdrop, creating a dreamlike ambiance. Vasnetsov's portrayal of Baba Yaga, a legendary figure known for her ability to bestow supernatural gifts upon heroes like Ivan, adds another layer of intrigue to this composition. With her presence in this painting, she symbolizes both danger and assistance as she aids our foolhardy protagonist. This print from The Victor Vasnetsov Memorial Museum allows us to immerse ourselves in Russian folklore and experience its magic firsthand. It serves as a reminder that within art lies not only beauty but also stories waiting to be told and worlds waiting to be explored.
