EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph, titled "View of St Petersburg" takes us back in time to the bustling cityscape of 19th-century Russia. Published in Paris around 1850, this exquisite print offers a glimpse into daily life along the Neva River. The scene is alive with activity and showcases various aspects of Russian culture during that era. In the foreground, we see a boat gently gliding through the frozen river, while nearby figures gather around a campfire, perhaps seeking warmth on a chilly winter day. The frozen expanse also serves as an impromptu playground for ice skaters gracefully gliding across its surface. As our eyes travel further into the distance, we are treated to a panoramic view of St Petersburg's architectural marvels. Majestic buildings line both sides of the riverbank, their grandeur contrasting against the starkness of winter. A sledge and sled can be spotted amidst the hustle and bustle, reminding us of traditional modes of transportation during this period. The meticulous detail captured by French School artists transports us back in time and allows us to immerse ourselves in this enchanting moment from history. This particular print belongs to The Stapleton Collection and is now part of a private collection. With its vibrant colours and intricate engravings, this hand-coloured lithograph not only captures an extraordinary landscape but also preserves a snapshot of Russian life over 150 years ago.
