Today, we continue the trajectory he initiated over 300 years ago. His uprising against the Moscow Tsar was a significant early attempt by Ukraine to move beyond the orbit of an empire and reorient itself toward the European political context. It marked a moment when Ukraine affirmed its identity as a distinct political entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this exhibition, light does not merely emphasize the sculpture\u2019s form and texture, but reveals its inner structure. The contrast lighting \u2014 sharp and angled \u2014 selectively brings out individual fragments of the form without disrupting its overall perception. Within this field of light, meanings emerge more distinctly: the labyrinth as a sign of complex historical choice, the apse as an image of unwavering faith and the creation of the Temple of Statehood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Museum &#8220;Kyiv Art Gallery&#8221; | From March 20, 2026 Mazepa bronze, 230 cm high Exhibition of a Single Sculpture On the birthday of Hetman Ivan Mazepa, the sculpture \u201cMazepa\u201d was presented at the Museum \u201cKyiv National Art Gallery.\u201d This day brought together different layers of time.
