Dom Bohuna / Дім Богуна

The place of shelter for all Bohun-like Souls (🇵🇱 🇺🇦), created to express my love for H. Sienkiewicz’s “Trylogia” and J. Hoffman’s films based on it (🇵🇱), and in particular – for Jurko Bohun, one from its main characters, based on Ivan Bohun (🇺🇦), real Ukrainian Cossack hero from the mid-17th century. Sadly to say: NOT FOR THE ACTOR PLAYING HIM ANYMORE. This site contains pieces of my original artwork (drawings and pastels). As a person fascinated with the film “With Fire and Sword” (1999) from its beginning, I have decided to share here with other Fans some material from my old, personal collection: press cuttings/photographs from the Polish Press and fragments of VHS recordings from the TVP (1997–1999). It is a fan account. I do not benefit from it. I do not claim copyrights to photos and screenshots that appear on theophan-o.tumblr.com. Copyright belongs to the Photographers and the TVP. In the event that there is still a problem or error with copyrighted material, the break of the copyright is unintentional and noncommercial and the material will be removed immediately upon presented proof.

Liubart's castle in Lutsk

One of the oldest preserved castles in Ukraine and the most recognizable symbol of Volyn. It was built mostly in the 1340s, although some parts of the previous stronghold dating as early as 10th century were incorporated into construction.

The image of the castle has long been used as a symbol of Lutsk. The image of the walls is present on numerous seals, coats of arms, money, badges, and postcards.

Cossack with a girl by Ukrainian contemporary artist and illustrator, Kateryna Shtanko (Катерина Штанко)*.

An illustration to the poem by Taras Shevchenko (Тарас Шевченко):

А Ярина дає зброю, На порозї стоя; Степан її надіває Та плачуть обоє. And Yaryna gives him weapon, standing on the threshold; Stepan puts it on, and they both cry.

*This illustration has been published in a book: Т. Шевченко, У нашім раї на землі..., Київ 2018. Halyna Rohach (Галина Рогач) was the editor of this volume. I do apologize everyone for my terrible mistake!

Józef Brandt (1841-1915), famous Polish artist, fascinated with the Ukrainian Cossacks and creating pictures of them throughout all his life:

Farewell (Pożegnanie), 1867, oil on canvas, 39 cm X 61.5 cm

From the collection of the Borys Voznytsky Lviv National Art Gallery (Львівська Національна Галерея Мистецтв імені Бориса Возницького)

Żal cię tu samą zostawiać — mówił Bohun — żal odjeżdżać, ale mus. Lżejby było, żeby ty się uśmiechnęła, żeby krzyżyk ze szczerego serca dała.

360th Anniversary of Bohun's Death

17.02.1664 Ivan Bohun was executed in the Polish military camp

Ivan Bohun (Іван Богун) was a real person, an authentic Ukrainian Cossack hero from the mid-17th century and one of the most important Cossack commanders during the uprising of Bohdan Chmielnicki (Bohdan Khmelnytsky, Богдан Хмельницький), which started in 1648 ('Ukrainian Independence War').

As such, he has many diverse appearances in the Ukrainian culture and in the Polish culture (in literature, folklore, visual arts, music, opera, theater, cinema, etc.). Perhaps, the most famous worldwide (or just Tumblr-wide) of them all is the novel "With Fire and Sword" ("Ogniem i mieczem") by the Polish writer, Henryk Sienkiewicz, from 1883/1884. H. Sienkiewicz changed Bohun's name to Jurko, but described some of his authentic deeds, i.a. the role, he played during the battle of Beresteczko, 1651. The novel itself, as a part of the well-known "Trylogia" (which occupies an important place in the Polish culture), has many adaptations in art, theater, radio and cinema. The most famous of them is the Polish film from 1999, directed by Jerzy Hoffman. So...

Bohun's appearance in that film is not everything, in fact, it is only the tip of the iceberg of Bohun's myth. There is much more to explore and admire.
