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.

Vasnetsov, Viktor. A Knight At the Crossroads. 1878. Oil on canvas. 79 x 147cm. Museum of Russian Art, Kiev.
More warriors. I love this piece because it conveys both conviction and remourse from the character without even seeing his face. The way that his arm and body is kind of slumped down shows that he is upset by whoever’s gravestone he is at, possibly deep in thought. But the figure still seems ready to carry on, possibly to avenge his loved one or to carry on their legacy. I strive to be able to convey emotions in my work without merely facial expressions, that is why this artwork is inspirational to me.
