EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Russian Navy in the early 1700s, a testament to Tsar Peter I's dedication to modernizing his country. The model navy, meticulously crafted after his apprenticeship in shipbuilding in the Netherlands, symbolizes Peter's ambition to transform Russia into a maritime power. The line engraving, taken from Johann Georg Korb's Diarium Itineris in Moscovium published in 1700, captures the grandeur of these royal vessels. Each ship is intricately detailed and exudes an air of strength and elegance as they sail through choppy waters. This image provides a glimpse into the Westernization efforts undertaken by Peter the Great during his reign. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its depiction of naval prowess but also its representation of broader historical themes such as modernization and czarism. Through this model navy, we witness Peter's determination to propel Russia forward on par with other European powers. Granger Art on Demand brings us yet another remarkable piece from their Carousel Collection.
