The image captures the essence of the Christianization process that took place in Kievan Rus during the Middle Ages. In this scene, we witness the arrival of a Byzantine bishop amidst a vibrant and bustling cityscape. The etching beautifully portrays the fusion of cultures as he is warmly welcomed by the Slavic peoples. This event marked an important turning point for Kievan Rus, as it embraced Christianity and left behind its pagan roots.
