"Wise Oleg" (Russian: Мудрый Олег) is a painting by the renowned Russian artist Viktor Vasnetsov, completed in 1891. This work is part of Vasnetsov's series of paintings that delve into the rich tapestry of Russian folklore, history, and epic narratives. The painting depicts Prince Oleg of Novgorod, a Varangian ruler of the Kievan Rus' from the late 9th to early 10th century, who was known for his sagacity and military prowess.

In "Wise Oleg," Vasnetsov portrays the prince in a moment of contemplative wisdom, possibly alluding to the famous legend of his prophetic visit to his own future grave, as recounted in the Primary Chronicle and popularized by Alexander Pushkin in his ballad "The Song of the Wise Oleg." The artwork is imbued with symbolic elements that reflect the mystical and heroic aspects of Oleg's character, as well as the cultural and spiritual ethos of the Kievan Rus' during its formative years.

Vasnetsov's style is characterized by a romanticized yet realistic representation, with a strong emphasis on historical detail and a vivid use of color. His work played a significant role in the revival of interest in Russian nationalistic themes during the late 19th century. "Wise Oleg" is a testament to Vasnetsov's skill in bringing to life the legendary figures of Russia's past and his contribution to the development of Russian historical painting.

The painting is held in high esteem and is considered one of Vasnetsov's significant contributions to Russian art. It is often exhibited in Russian museums and galleries that showcase the country's cultural heritage. As with many of Vasnetsov's works, "Wise Oleg" continues to be a subject of study for art historians and enthusiasts who are interested in the intersection of visual art and national folklore.
