EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ice Mountains, ca 1814" takes us back to a winter wonderland in France. Created by an anonymous artist, this masterpiece captures the essence of the snowy season and all its festivities. The image showcases a vibrant carnival celebration in Saint Petersburg, Russia, where people engage in various winter sports and amusement activities. In this lively scene, sleighs glide gracefully down icy slopes while tobogganers enjoy thrilling rides on what appears to be an early version of a roller coaster. The Neva River serves as a picturesque backdrop for this joyous occasion. The artist's use of watercolour brings out the vividness of the scene, highlighting every detail with precision. The composition exudes elements of neoclassicism and graphic arts, showcasing both fine art and genre styles. It is evident that poetry inspired this artwork as it beautifully depicts the spirit of Mardi Gras or Shrove Tuesday celebrations during Maslenitsa (Butter Week) or Cheesefare Week – Russian traditions associated with indulging in pancakes before Lent begins. Preserved within a private collection, this rare lithograph offers us glimpses into history and cultural practices from over two centuries ago. As we admire these enchanting "Ice Mountains" we are transported to a time when winter landscapes were not only admired but also celebrated with great fervor.
