EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Executioner of the Streltsy regiment in 1764, a powerful figure from Russian history. The image is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the grandeur and complexity of the era. The lithography, created by Jean Baptiste Le Prince in 1734-1781, captures the essence of this significant period in Russia's past. It depicts an executioner who played a crucial role during Peter I's reign as he dealt with power struggles and succession to the throne. The Streltsy regiments were palace guardsmen who held immense influence within Muscovy. Their loyalty was often tested during times of political turmoil, making their executioner an essential figure for maintaining order and consolidating power. In this artwork, we witness not only the artist's mastery but also his ability to convey historical significance through graphic arts. The rococo style adds an air of elegance to this portrayal while emphasizing its cultural context. As viewers engage with this photo print, they are transported back to 18th-century Russia—a time when tensions ran high within Moscow principality and Russian monarchy faced numerous challenges. This piece serves as a reminder that even behind closed doors and amidst opulent surroundings, power struggles shaped nations' destinies.
