EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Georgian women on the roof (Lezghinka), 1837" by Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov takes us back in time to the enchanting world of traditional Georgian culture. The artist beautifully captures a group of Georgian women dressed in their exquisite traditional costumes, gracefully dancing on a rooftop. The scene exudes an air of romance and folklore as these women perform the Lezghinka, a lively folk dance that originated in the Caucasus region. Their intricate movements are frozen in time, yet their energy and passion seem to radiate from the paper. Lermontov's pencil strokes bring out every detail of their traditional attire, showcasing the rich colors and patterns that make up their distinctive dress. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insight into Georgian customs and traditions. Preserved within the collection of Institut of Russian Literature IRLI (Pushkin-House) in St Petersburg, this fine art piece is a testament to Lermontov's talent for capturing cultural moments through graphic arts. It invites viewers to appreciate both his artistic skill and Georgia's vibrant heritage. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but be transported to Tiflis (now known as Tbilisi), where these women once danced atop roofs under starlit skies. It serves as a reminder of how art can immortalize traditions and keep them alive for generations to come.
