Famous Russian Palekh paintings


In this section, unfortunately, I have only two pictures because it was hard for me to find a set of cards. I have a thick book but it is very hard to scan. Enjoy, anyway!

This is a fairy tale person, Sadko. He plays on his magic gusli to call for a Sea Czar to create a storm. He wanted to do it in order to save his city from enemy's ships. There are different versions of this tale, and this interpretation is just one of them.

I don't know who this is exactly but the picture is a very typical for Russian fairy tales: a princess talking to trees, animals asking them about love and her prince.
