Viktor Vasnetsov. Duel Peresvet With Chelubey. 1914. Samara Regional Art Museum, Samara.
Alexander Peresvet, also spelled Peresviet, was a Russian Orthodox Christian monk who fought in a single combat with the Tatar champion Temir-murza (known in most Russian sources as Chelubeyor Cheli-bey) at the opening of the Battle of Kulikovo (8 September 1380). The champions killed each other in the first run, though according to a Russian legend, Peresvet did not fall from the saddle, while Temir-murza did. Peresvet’s body, together with that of his brother-in-arms Oslyabya, were brought to Moscow, where they lie buried at the 15th-century Theotokos Church in Simonovo.

Reworked an old sketch of Asari illustration, now finally realized this picture. Working on it was not easy for me and I corrected a lot in the post-scan process, but at the moment I am relatively pleased with the result.
