EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Horses crossing a river, 1812-13" takes us back to the vast landscapes of Russia in the early 19th century. The artist behind this masterpiece is E. Karnejeff, an enigmatic figure from that era. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene of horses gracefully navigating their way across a serene river. Their powerful bodies and elegant movements are beautifully captured in this artwork, evoking a sense of freedom and strength. Originally featured in Charles de Rechberg's book "Les Peuples de la Russie" published in Paris between 1812 and 1813, this engraving offers us a glimpse into the diverse cultures and customs of the Russian Empire during that time. It highlights the nomadic lifestyle prevalent among certain communities within Russia. As we delve deeper into this print, we can't help but admire the attention to detail given to every element: from the boats used for transportation to the lush landscape surrounding them. This illustration not only portrays animals crossing a river but also symbolizes migration and movement—a theme deeply rooted in human history. Preserved within private collections today, this historical gem reminds us of our connection with nature and our constant quest for exploration. Let it transport you back to an era where horses were essential companions on journeys through untamed lands—a testament to both their significance as farm animals and their wild spirit as creatures roaming freely amidst breathtaking scenery.
