EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Russian history - Peter I in the Rebellion of the Old Believers in the Palace of Facets. The late 18th-century artwork, created by an anonymous artist, is now housed in the State History Museum in Moscow. The image transports us to a time when religious tensions ran high within Russia. In this scene, we witness monks and believers from the Orthodox Church engaging in a rebellion against Peter I, also known as Peter the Great. The old believers, adherents of traditional Russian religious practices, are depicted standing firm against the reforms imposed by Peter's government. The graphic arts technique employed here adds depth and texture to this historical narrative. Copper engraving brings out intricate details and enhances our understanding of this pivotal event. Through book design elements incorporated into this piece, we gain insight into how art was used to document and disseminate information during that era. As we delve deeper into Russian history through this photograph, we glimpse Muscovy's complex past - from its principality days to its transformation into the Grand Duchy of Moscow under Peter I Alexeyevich's rule. This artwork serves as a reminder of both political power struggles and religious schisms that shaped Russia's trajectory. Intriguingly anonymous yet undeniably powerful, this fine art image invites contemplation on faith, tradition, and resistance within Russian society during one of its most transformative periods.
