The artwork titled “Illustration for the Tale of Prince Ivan, The Firebird and the Grey Wolf” was created by Ivan Bilibin in 1899. This piece belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls under the genre of illustration. It is part of a series based on the tale of Ivan Tsarevich, the Firebird, and the Grey Wolf.
The artwork prominently features a narrative scene rich in detail, capturing elements of Russian folklore. The primary text is presented in Russian, enclosed within ornate borders, and accompanied by a small illustration at the bottom. The text details part of the tale, presumably involving Ivan Tsarevich, and his adventures with the Firebird and the Grey Wolf. The borders of the page add to the decorative element characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, with intricate patterns and motifs likely symbolizing aspects of the story. The supplementary illustration at the bottom depicts a dark scene with a wolf, rendered in a style consistent with the time period, contributing to the overall narrative of the artwork.
