Prince Ukhtomsky in the Battle with Tartars at Volga in 1469 1904

Andrei Ryabushkin's 1904 painting, "Prince Ukhtomsky in the Battle with Tartars at Volga in 1469," depicts a dramatic moment from Russian history. The scene shows Prince Ukhtomsky on horseback, charging through a field of fallen enemy soldiers, as he leads a Russian army in a battle against the Tatars on the Volga River in 1469. Ryabushkin's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as the dynamic composition, create a sense of movement and excitement, effectively capturing the intensity of the battle. This historical painting is a prime example of the artist’s style, which blended realism with dramatic elements. Currently, the artwork resides in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.
