"Wise Oleg", sometimes also referred to as "Prince Oleg", is a painting by prominent Russian artist Viktor Vasnetsov completed in 1899. This historical painting portrays Oleg of Novgorod, a Varangian prince who ruled all or part of the Rus' people during the late 9th and early 10th centuries. Considered a monumental work in Vasnetsov's oeuvre, it encapsulates his intensive interest in the country's history and draws inspiration from Slavic folklore.

In the painting, Oleg is depicted sitting on a throne while looking intently into the distance. Vasnetsov's unique interpretation of Oleg's wisdom enables him to capture a sense of sagacity and authority that is intrinsic to Oleg's character. The artist uses dark, muted colors and pays great attention to the intricacies of the clothing and facial expression, thereby offering a penetrating glance into the epoch of antiquated Russia ruled by the Varangians.

"Wise Oleg" is a perfect embodiment of the roots of Russian historical genre painting. It not only provides a look into Russian folklore and mythology but also contributes to the study of Vasnetsov's artistic elements. This painting is a quintessence of tradition and history, blending realism and symbolism to masterfully navigate the viewer through the imagined realities of the ancient past. Today, it continues to be housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, serving as an inspiring symbol of Russia's historical and cultural past.
