EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Crossing the River" by renowned artist Dmitri Semyonovich Stelletsky (1875-1947), offers a fascinating insight into rural commune life in late 19th to early 20th century Russia. The artwork, part of a private collection, showcases the picturesque banks of the mighty Dnieper River. The scene depicts a bustling settlement where settlers and guests from overseas gather near the riverbank. In this historical context, we are transported back to Kievan Rus times when trade routes from Varangians to Greeks flourished along these waters. The presence of sailing boats and ships alludes to this vibrant era when Slavic peoples coexisted with Vikings (Varangians) who traversed these waterways. Stelletsky's masterful use of watercolor and gouache on cardboard brings out vivid details that breathe life into every stroke.

It serves as a visual testament to how settlements thrived along major trade routes like Varangian Way, fostering cultural exchange and economic growth. "Crossing the River" is an exquisite piece that invites us to reflect upon our shared
