Russian Art: Bilibin


I have always loved Ivan Bilibin. These are pictures from a story I forget... the name is something, something, of Tsar Sultan. I could look it up but it is too cold to find my copies of Bilibin: I keep them in my own private Irkutsk.

    It's "Tsar Saltan" from Pushkin. :-)

    Yes. Thank you. I have not read Pushkin in years. What a waste of time it is to ignore great literature.
