Vladimir and Rogneda

Vladimir and Rogneda or Vladimir before Rogneda is a painting by Russian artist Anton Losenko (1737-1773), completed in 1770. It is held in the State Russian Museum (Inventory No. Zh-4975) and measures 211.5 × 177.5 cm. The painting's narrative is based on the events of the 10th-century Russian internecine war, as described in the Rus' chronicle. The principal figures are Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich of Novgorod and Rogneda, daughter of Prince Rogvolod of Polotsk. The action depicted on the canvas is set in Polotsk, in the princely chambers of Rogneda.

Following his return from a long pensioner's trip in 1769, the Imperial Academy of Arts invited Losenko to submit a painting on a theme related to Vladimir and Rogneda in order to be considered for the title of academician. The painting was completed in 1770 and subsequently presented to the public at the academic exhibition that same year…
