Already in the era of the last ice age, bison were the object of hunting by humans. Their images are often found among cave paintings. Despite the fact that the bison became extinct in the Mediterranean region before the first historical records began, the ancient Greeks and Romans knew this animal. This artwork is about love to native language. The Belarusian language (self-name - Belaruskaya mova) is one of the East Slavic languages of the Slavic group of Indo-European languages, the national language of Belarusians. The Cyrillic alphabet is used to write the Belarusian language. This painting is dedicated to the great first printer Francisk Skaryna. In modern Belarus, Francis Skaryna is considered one of its greatest historical figures. Two of the country's awards are named in his honor: a medal and an order. On August 6, 1517, his the first book, the Psalter, was published. ---------------------------------------- ________________________ Victoria Valuk is a contemporary Slavic artist, currently based in Belarus — Eastern Europe, with international exposure.
