Created by talented artist Alexander Blinkov in 1956, this artwork depicts the victorious Russian army capturing Narva, which is now located in Estonia. The invasion of Livonia was ordered by Ivan the Terrible after the Livonian Confederation broke their truce with Russia and formed an alliance with Poland and Lithuania.

The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring this historical event to life, showcasing both the determination of the soldiers and the chaos of battle.

It captures not only a specific moment but also embodies broader themes such as war, conquest, and resilience. Through Blinkov's talent and creativity, viewers can immerse themselves in this significant chapter from Estonia's past.
