EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "En memoire de Nikolai Sapunov (Sapounov) (1880-1912) (In Memory of N. Sapunov)" captures a powerful symbolist artwork by Nicolas Dimitrievich Millioti. Painted in 1913, this oil on cardboard piece depicts the personification of death bending and fleeing before a smiling figure of life, who energetically shakes maracas. The painting is an allegory that reflects the battle between good and evil, hope and sadness. The vibrant colors used by Millioti bring out the contrasting emotions portrayed in the scene. The moonlight adds an ethereal touch to the composition, enhancing its mysterious atmosphere. Nikolai Sapunov, whose memory is honored through this artwork, was a Russian artist who tragically passed away at a young age in 1912. This piece serves as both a tribute to his artistic legacy and a contemplation on mortality. The juxtaposition of life and death represented here invites viewers to reflect on their own existence and embrace joy amidst inevitable struggles. The presence of musical instruments further emphasizes the importance of music as an expression of life's vitality. This work from early 20th-century Russia showcases not only Millioti's skillful brushwork but also his ability to convey complex themes through symbolism. It remains part of a private collection today, preserving its significance for future generations to appreciate.
