ANGELS ADORNING IVAN MAZEPA’S PALACE IN BATURYN

This article with gallery of colour illustrations in PDF examines the rare glazed ceramic and terracotta tiles featuring the angels or putti that ornamented stoves at the ambitious principal residence of Hetman Ivan Mazepa in his capital city of Baturyn. Their fragments have been discovered during the excavations of the palace’s remnants. This publication presents the computer graphic reconstructions of two complete tiles and the most expensive and ornate majolica multicolour tiled stove of Mazepa’s headquarter which was destroyed during the ravaging of Baturyn by Russian troops in 1708. These tiles testify to the wealth and fine art adornments of his palace and also demonstrate the assimilation and dissemination of the putti motif of the Renaissance tradition in the decorative applied art of Cossack Ukraine promoted by Mazepa. This article was published in the “Ukrainian Echo”, the English-language section of the popular Ukrainian Canadian newspaper “Homin Ukrainy”, Vol. LXXVI, No. 23, Toronto, June 18, 2024.

The Identity of the Ukrainian Hetman Ivan Mazepa and the Appropriation of His Legacy by the russians

We present to your attention an interesting project created by a team of scientists, journalists and public activists. In the descriptions of the video, the authors noted: «In the second episode of the documentary narrative podcast 'Why Do They Steal?,' we explore the legacy of the Ukrainian Hetman Ivan Mazepa. We delve into the ongoing lack of understanding of the significance of this historical figure. This episode investigates the russian aversion to anything associated with Mazepa while harboring a desire to appropriate the Hetman’s legacy. For instance, the Lev (Lion) cannon, rushed by the russians to become a symbol of their empire, was left uncharged. Or consider the Pigeon Bell, awkwardly rescued and subsequently mishandled, leading to its ultimate breakage. Moreover, we examine why, even after 300 years, the russians can’t get over Mazepa. The material was prepared with the support of the International Renaissance Foundation. The material reflects the position of the authors and does not necessarily coincide with the position of the International Renaissance Foundation». Video
