Ivan IV of Russia, also known as Ivan the Terrible, was a complex and controversial figure in Russian history. His reign saw significant developments, including the establishment of The Code of Law (Sudebnik) in 1550. This legal code aimed to bring order and justice to the country. However, Ivan IV's rule was marred by acts of brutality and violence. The Russian atrocities committed in Livonia in 1578 were documented by Johann Jakob Wicks' Sammlung von Nachrichten, with anonymous artists capturing the horrors inflicted upon innocent people during that time. To understand Ivan IV's place within Russian history, it is important to trace his lineage back to Rurik, Igor of Kiev, Olga, Sviatoslav, and Vladimir the Great. These predecessors shaped his upbringing and influenced his actions as a ruler. Portraits from Il costume antico. . By Giulio Ferrario depict various Russian monarchs throughout history. Among them is Ivan IV himself; these images provide insight into how he was perceived during the early 19th century. The Silk caftan worn by Tsar Ivan IV showcased opulence but also symbolized power and authority and can be found among the Antiquities of the Russian State collection from 1849-1853. Asaph's depiction from The Book of Psalms represents an artistic interpretation related to Ivan IV's reign. Meanwhile, M. Lermontov's poem "The Song of Merchant Kalashnikov" captures another aspect of this era through its illustration. In addition to these cultural representations are historical events such as Tsar Ivan at Falconry in 1872 or Muscovite ambassadors attending Imperial Diet in Regensburg on July 18th, 1576 - showcasing diplomatic relations during his reign. Lastly, the edict issued by Tsar Ivan IV himself highlights one particular moment when he exercised his authority over matters concerning his subjects.
