EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Avant le mariage. Les adieux (Before the Wedding. Farewell)" captures a scene filled with irony and emotion. In this 19th-century Russian artwork by Vladimir Yegorovich Makovski, an elderly man is surrounded by medicine bottles, with an open book on his lap, wearing glasses and holding a handkerchief. Tenderly, he grasps the hand of a young woman dressed in her bridal gown, her face cold and determined, her gaze distant. This painting depicts a poignant moment before a wedding ceremony where generations collide. The contrast between youth and old age is striking as the elderly man symbolizes wisdom and experience while facing his mortality amidst the joyous occasion of marriage. The composition evokes various emotions - doubt, sadness, fear, anxiety - as both characters engage in deep contemplation. Their silent conversation speaks volumes about life's uncertainties and the passing of time. Makovski's realistic style brings out every detail: from the wrinkles on the old man's face to the intricate lacework on the bride's dress. The use of color adds depth to this thought-provoking piece. Displayed at State Art Museum in Samara, Russia, this artwork exemplifies Makovsky's mastery in capturing human emotions through paintbrush strokes. It serves as a reminder that even during moments of celebration like weddings, there can be underlying complexities that shape our lives.
