EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le marche aux serfs. (The Market. The sale of serfs)" takes us back to a significant period in Russian history, showcasing the harsh reality of serfdom in the 19th century. Painted by Nikolai Vasilyevich Nevrev in 1866, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed at the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. In this scene, we witness an intense negotiation between an eager buyer and a shrewd merchant over the purchase price of a woman being sold as a serf. The setting is filled with intriguing details - from the rustic furniture and tobacco pipe to the expressions on their faces, reflecting both desperation and determination. Through this painting, Nevrev skillfully captures not only the economic aspects but also sheds light on social customs and traditions prevalent during that time. It serves as a poignant reminder of how human lives were commodified for profit within Russian society's rigid class structure. The vibrant colors used by Nevrev bring life to every element depicted - from the clothing worn by those involved in the transaction to their surroundings. This artwork provides viewers with a glimpse into an era where conversations like these were commonplace yet morally troubling. As we observe this thought-provoking piece, it prompts us to reflect upon our own societal progress while acknowledging that such practices are now relegated to history books rather than daily life experiences.
