EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history that is both gruesome and miraculous. The image depicts the aftermath of the death of Yermak Timofeyevich, a renowned Cossack leader who met his demise in 1584. Tartars from Siberia are shown stabbing Yermak's lifeless body, which according to legend, continued to bleed for several weeks after his passing. The drawing, created in the 17th century by an anonymous Russian artist, showcases the brutality and cruelty faced by Yermak and his troops during their conquests in Siberia. It serves as a reminder of the dangers they encountered while trying to expand their influence. Despite the violence depicted in this artwork, it also highlights a remarkable phenomenon - the bleeding corpse of Yermak. This extraordinary occurrence was believed to be a miracle by many who witnessed it. The fact that blood continued to flow from his body even after death added an air of mysticism surrounding this legendary figure. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this historical artifact for us to contemplate and reflect upon. Through this photograph print, we can delve into Russia's rich past and gain insight into its tumultuous relationship with neighboring territories such as Mongolia and Siberia.
