EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Domovoi, a spirit of the house" created by Ivan Bilibin in 1934. The artwork, rendered in charcoal on paper, is an intriguing representation of a familiar genie that resides within homes. The image depicts a hairy monster-like creature crawling on all fours, exuding an air of mystique and divinity. As a household god in Slavic mythology, the Domovoi holds great significance in Russian culture. Its presence symbolizes protection and guardianship over the home it inhabits. Bilibin's meticulous attention to detail brings this mythological being to life, capturing its essence with remarkable precision. The artist's use of charcoal creates depth and texture, adding to the overall allure of the piece. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into Russian folklore but also serves as a testament to Bilibin's artistic prowess. His ability to evoke emotions through his work is evident as viewers are transported into a world where mythical creatures roam freely. As we admire this stunning print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that exists beyond our own understanding. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries; it transcends time and space while allowing us to explore different realms of imagination.
