And the Saved World Remembers is a monumental painting by Belarusian artist Mai Dantsig measuring 3.75 m × 7 m (148 in × 276 in) and based on the Sistine Madonna by Raphael Sanzio.[1] Dantsig was inspired by the salvage of the Sistine Madonna from the bombing of Dresden during World War II.[1] And the Saved World Remembers depicts the moment when the Sistine Madonna was retrieved by the Soviets.[1] The background shows an army, the left side depicts a postman delivering news of victory amid ruined cities and the right side shows German soldiers among concentration camps. The painting also shows women lamenting their dead and a mine detector. Dantsig spent over ten years working on the painting and completed it in 1985, during the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe.[1]

[ru] И помнит мир спасённый

«И помнит мир спасённый…» — монументальное полотно белорусского художника Мая Данцига[5]. В центре аллегорического произведения, созданного к 40-летию победы в Великой Отечественной войне[K 1] и прославляющего подвиг советских солдат, оказывается образ «Сикстинской Мадонны» Рафаэля, символизирующей спасённый мир. Выходом за рамки реалистичности художник добивается ещё большей масштабности и полноты изображения[5].
