The artwork titled “Saints Boris and Gleb on the Ship” was created by the artist Ivan Bilibin and belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. It falls under the genre of religious painting.
The artwork portrays two saints standing on a ship adorned with ornate decorations. Saints Boris and Gleb, depicted with halos and medieval armor, stand next to each other holding spears, evoking a sense of solemnity and divine mission. The ship, with vivid red sails and intricate patterns, navigates through stylized waves. A richly detailed castle and craggy landscape form the backdrop, with elaborate architecture and rocky outcrops enhancing the scene. In the sea beneath the ship, three stylized golden fish are depicted, adding symbolic depth and balance to the composition.
