EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor painting, titled "How we spend Easter. N 3." by Mikhail Znamensky, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and joyful Easter celebrations in Russia during the 2nd half of the 19th century. The image transports us back in time, as we observe a lively scene of men and women, dressed in colorful and fashionable apparel, gathered at a fairground to celebrate the religious holiday. In the foreground, a man in a fur hat and coat, with a warm smile on his face, engages in animated conversation with a woman in a bright, floral dress and a matching shawl. Behind them, a merry-go-round comes to a halt, its painted horses and animals waiting for the next rider. The excitement of the fair is palpable, with performers in the background, and the sounds of laughter and music filling the air. The painting is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Russia during this period, and the enduring traditions of Easter celebrations. Mikhail Znamensky, the artist, skillfully captures the essence of the moment, using his mastery of watercolor to bring the scene to life with stunning detail and warmth. This image is part of a larger collection of 239 drawings and illustrations by Znamensky, which includes sketches of nature, people, and cities, as well as several satirical albums. Together, these illustrations provide a comprehensive portrait of the people and physical conditions in West Siberia during the 19th century, offering a valuable insight into the history and heritage of this fascinating region.
