EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shrovetide, 1889" by Pyotr Grusinsky takes us back to a wintry scene in 19th century Russia. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this festive season with its lively atmosphere and exhilarating activities. In the foreground, we see a horse-drawn sleigh racing down a snow-covered road, driven by an enthusiastic driver. The horses gallop at full speed, their breath visible in the chilly air as they pull the elegant vehicle through the countryside. The surrounding landscape is transformed into a winter wonderland, with quaint houses lining the street and trees adorned with a fresh layer of snow. Despite the overcast sky and cloudy weather, there is an undeniable sense of joy and excitement in this painting. People gather along the roadside to witness this thrilling race unfold before their eyes. Shouts of encouragement fill the air as spectators cheer on their favorite competitors. Grusinsky's use of color brings life to this scene; vibrant reds and blues stand out against the white backdrop, adding dynamism to his composition. This artwork not only showcases Russian culture but also highlights how transportation played an integral role during Shrovetide festivities. As we admire this fine piece of art from our collection at State Russian Museum in St Petersburg, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the thrill and energy that defined Shrovetide celebrations in late 19th century Russia.
