The artwork titled “Flying Carpet” was created by Viktor Vasnetsov in the year 1880 in the Russian Federation. This exquisite piece of art, rendered in oil on canvas, belongs to the Romanticism movement and falls under the genre of mythological painting. The artwork is presently held in a private collection.
The scene depicted in the artwork is fantastical and legendary. It portrays a figure seated on a richly adorned carpet that is flying through the sky. The carpet, vibrantly colored and meticulously detailed, appears to be soaring over a vast landscape shrouded in mist and twilight, evoking an air of enchantment and mystery. Below, birds are seen flying against a serene, atmospheric background. The figure upon the carpet is dressed in elaborate, historical attire, adding to the mythological narrative encapsulated by the painting. The romantic and adventurous essence of the artwork effectively transports the viewer into a world of legend and imagination.
