EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment in the late 18th century, showcasing the grandeur and cultural exchange between two powerful empires. The image depicts the magnificent procession to Moscow of Abdul Kerim, Bey of Rumelia, who served as the Turkish Ambassador to the Imperial Court during that time. The scene is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details, reflecting both Russian folklore and Ottoman traditions. This fusion of artistic styles creates a unique visual narrative that transports viewers back in time. From fine etching techniques to delicate watercolors, every stroke showcases the mastery of a Russian artist. As we delve into this piece's rich history, it becomes evident that it was created during a period marked by conflict – specifically, the Austro-Turkish War and Russo-Turkish War. However, this artwork focuses on diplomacy rather than warfare; it highlights Catherine II's efforts to establish diplomatic ties with her Ottoman counterparts. Preserved within a private collection today, this depiction serves as an invaluable testament to cultural exchange and diplomacy between great empires. It reminds us of Empress Catherine II's vision for Russia as she sought alliances beyond its borders while embracing her country's own rich heritage. Through this remarkable example of graphic art known as "lubok" we are transported into an era where politics intertwined with artistic expression. This print not only tells us about historical events but also invites us to appreciate the beauty found within these moments from centuries past.
