EDITORS COMMENTS
Step aboard and discover the fascinating story of Peter the Great, Tsar of Russia, as he learns the art of shipbuilding in 17th-century Holland. This vibrant color lithograph captures a pivotal moment in history where the Russian leader is immersed in hands-on learning alongside skilled Dutch shipwrights. In 1697, Peter's visit to Zaandam and Amsterdam marked a significant turning point in his quest to build a powerful Russian navy. The image showcases his dedication to mastering new skills and his passion for innovation, which would later shape the course of Russian naval history.
As part of Liebig's promotional series 'Souverains parmi le peuple', this print highlights the unique bond between monarchs and their people. It not only celebrates Peter's curiosity but also underscores his commitment to developing Russia's maritime trade links with Europe. With its rich colors and detailed depiction of dockyards and laborers at work, this artwork offers a glimpse into an era of cultural exchange and intellectual curiosity.
