EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Grande Armee under escort of Starosta Vasilisa, after 1812" by Alexei Gavrilovich Venetsianov showcases a significant moment in history. The artwork is housed in the prestigious State A. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. The image depicts a scene from the Napoleonic Wars, specifically during Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812. It portrays the Grande Armee, led by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte himself, being escorted by Starosta Vasilisa and her troop through Russian territory. This unique piece combines elements of folklore and folk art with historical events. Venetsianov's artistic style exhibits primitivism and naivety, adding an intriguing touch to this copper engraving turned watercolor masterpiece. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to each character portrayed, including Field Marshal Kutuzov and other heroic figures from the war. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of a crucial period but also pays homage to Russian folk art traditions known as lubok prints. These popular prints were widely circulated among common people at that time. Overall, this print captures both the essence of historical significance and the beauty found within traditional Russian art forms. It stands as a testament to the bravery displayed during this tumultuous era while showcasing Venetsianov's talent for merging different artistic styles into one compelling composition.
