EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "On the first of the month" by Nikolai Andreyevich Koshelev depicts a scene from family life in Russia during the late 19th century. The painting, found in the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, showcases Koshelev's mastery of realism and satire. In this genre painting, Koshelev portrays a group of individuals engaged in a drinking bout. The artist skillfully captures their expressions and body language to convey the effects of alcoholism and drunkenness on both individuals and families. Through his brushstrokes, he highlights the social issue prevalent at that time - excessive consumption of vodka. The composition reveals an intimate setting where family members gather around a table laden with bottles of spirits. Their disheveled appearances suggest they have indulged heavily, emphasizing the destructive nature of alcohol abuse. This thought-provoking image serves as a commentary on societal norms surrounding drinking habits and its impact on domestic life. Koshelev's use of oil on canvas adds depth to each character while enhancing details such as facial features and clothing textures. This fine art piece not only showcases his technical prowess but also sheds light on an important aspect of Russian culture during that era. With this photo print, viewers are invited to reflect upon issues related to alcoholism within society while appreciating Koshelev's artistic talent for capturing human emotions with great sensitivity.
