About Morning of Kyiv bogatyrs

The artwork titled “Morning of Kyiv Bogatyrs” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1896. This piece belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) and Realism movements and is classified as a mythological painting. Unfortunately, the artwork is currently destroyed.

“Morning of Kyiv Bogatyrs” presents a mythological scene steeped in historic grandeur. The central figure is a heavily armored warrior mounted on a white steed, situated in an enigmatic landscape. The warrior is depicted in intricate detail, evoking the stoic and formidable nature of Kyiv’s legendary bogatyrs. The environment around him is barren and almost desolate, with rocky outcroppings and a solitary wooden structure in the background, which heightens the sense of isolation and timelessness. The use of subdued colors and meticulous brushwork reflects the Realist dedication to lifelike representation, while the composition and stylization echo the fluid aesthetics of Art Nouveau.
