EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1764 showcases the commanding presence of a Colonel of the Streltsy regiment, a powerful military force in the history of Russia. The private collection print offers a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of the Russian monarchy during this era. The Colonel stands tall and proud, adorned in an elaborate uniform that reflects his authority and status. His regal attire is intricately detailed with rich fabrics, ornate embroidery, and decorative medals. With an air of confidence, he gazes directly at the viewer, exuding power and strength. The Streltsy troops were palace guardsmen who played a significant role in protecting Moscow's principality. This image captures their importance as key players in Russian history during Peter I's reign - also known as Peter I the Great - when power struggles were prevalent within the monarchy. Created by Jean Baptiste Le Prince, a renowned artist specializing in genre scenes and graphic arts, this lithograph beautifully combines elements of rococo style with historical accuracy. Its fine details transport us back to Muscovy's past as we witness one man's rise to prominence within these influential regiments. As we admire this remarkable piece from our private collection today, it serves as a reminder of Russia's fascinating history and its enduring legacy through art.
