EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Vente aux encheres de serfs (Auction Sale of Serfs)" captures a poignant scene from the early 20th century Russian society. Amongst an array of objects such as carpets, bird cages, paintings, books, and trinkets, a family of peasants is displayed for sale. The nobles and landowners leisurely stroll around, surrounded by the organizers of the auction. Created by Klavdi Vasilyevich Lebedev in 1910 using watercolor and gouache on paper, this artwork reflects the regional art movement in Arkhangelsk, Russia. It showcases the harsh reality of feudalism that persisted until the late 19th century in Russia. The painting evokes a sense of shame and humiliation as we witness human beings being treated as commodities to be bought and sold. The woman and man representing the peasant family stand with downcast eyes while potential buyers inspect them like livestock at market. This piece serves as a reminder of societal customs during that time period when serfdom was still prevalent. It highlights the stark contrast between social classes - where nobility held power over their countrymen's lives. Lebedev's use of vibrant colors adds depth to this somber scene while capturing attention to detail within each element present at the auction. This photograph print from Fine Art Finder allows us to reflect upon history through art and understand how tradition shaped society in early 20th-century Russia.
