lots of artists can fill their work with aching homosexual tension, but no one else can make the impending sodomy look quite as classy and exquisitely dressed as Leyendecker can. God bless you, sir.

Viktor Vasnetsov

The Flying Carpet (with detail), 1880, oil on canvas, 165 x 297 cm, Art Museum of Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.

Viktor Vasnetsov was a Russian painter who specialized in mythological and historical subjects. He was described as co-founder of folklorist/romantic modernism in the Russian painting and a key figure of the revivalist movement in Russian art.

A flying carpet, also called a magic carpet, is a legendary carpet that can be used to transport people who are on it. In Russian folk tales, Baba Yaga can supply Ivan the Fool or Ivan Tsarevich with a flying carpet or some other magical gifts. Such gifts help the hero to find his way “beyond thrice-nine lands, in the thrice-ten kingdom”.
This painting represents Ivan returning home after capturing the Firebird, which he keeps in a cage. This work was Vasnetsov’s first attempt at illustrating Russian folk tales and started a famous series of paintings on the themes drawn from Russian folklore.
