The Castle of Richard the Lionheart (Mansions of Kiev) Print

In the center of the picture you can see a castle surrounded by garden roses, knight attributes and medieval weapons. All these details were not chosen randomly. This drawing is inspired by chivalry novels (in particular “Le Roman de la Rose”) and medieval illustrations. In my opinion, the Castle fits perfectly to this common romantic image. House №15, known among the capital's locals and guests as ‘the Castle of Richard the Lionheart,’ is one of the most attractive and mysterious buildings in Kyiv. Despite its romanticized name, the house has nothing to do with English King Richard the First. The writer Viktor Nekrasov gave such nickname to the unusual building in Neo-Gothic style for its resemblance to medieval knightly castles. The Castle of Richard the Lionheart was built in the early 20th century to wealthy capital industrialist Dmitry Orlov's order, who intended it to be a lodging house. The drawing made by ink on paper under plexiglass.
