The Bogatyr
Mikhail Vrubel, 1865 - 1910
Decorative panel, Oil on canvas, 321.5 x 222 cm
"Bogatyr" - one of a group of heroes of the Russian folk epics known as "byliny". The duty of the bogatyrs was to protect the Russian land against foreign invaders, especially the Tatars.
This person reminds me of a character in The Lord Of The Rings trilogy!
