EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a pivotal moment in history as Pierre Le Grand, also known as Peter the Great, lays the foundation for Saint Petersburg. The Tsar stands confidently on the banks of the Neva River, surrounded by his advisors, holding a telescope and compass in his hands. With determination etched on his face, he places a geographical map on a tree trunk beneath his hat. Painted by Alexei Gavrilovich Venetsianov in 1838, this masterpiece showcases the romanticism of 19th-century Russian art. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene and highlight the significance of this historical event. Peter I de Russie (1672-1725) was not only a king but also an innovator who transformed Russia into a modern European power. His vision for Saint Petersburg as the new capital symbolized his desire to westernize and modernize Russia. This painting encapsulates that ambition and serves as a testament to Peter's legacy. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment when one man's dream became reality. It is through such paintings that we can appreciate both the artistic skill of Venetsianov and gain insight into significant moments that have shaped our world today. This image reminds us of Peter's remarkable achievements and invites us to delve deeper into Russian history—a story filled with intrigue, innovation, and grandeur.
