EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil painting titled "Shrove-Tide, 1916". Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev transports us to a winter wonderland filled with joy and celebration. The scene is set in a quaint town during the annual festival of Maslenitsa, also known as Shrove-Tide. As the sun sets on the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the landscape, we witness a lively procession of sleighs gliding through the snow-covered streets. The troika, an iconic Russian sled pulled by three horses abreast, takes center stage in this vibrant composition. Adorned with colorful decorations and accompanied by cheerful music and laughter, it symbolizes the spirit of unity and camaraderie that permeates this festive occasion. People gather along the streets to watch or participate in various activities that define Maslenitsa. Children playfully engage in snowball fights while others indulge in traditional games and dances. The air is filled with excitement as townsfolk come together to bid farewell to winter and welcome spring's arrival. Kustodiev's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this carnival-like atmosphere to life. From intricate architectural features adorning buildings to meticulously painted faces reflecting sheer delight, each brushstroke captures both the grandeur of tradition and intimate moments shared among friends and family. This remarkable painting preserved at State Russian Museum serves as a timeless reminder of cultural heritage and communal celebrations that transcend time boundaries. It invites viewers into an enchanting world where merriment reign
