EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of The Capture of the Winter Palace on 7th November 1917, a pivotal event during the Russian Revolution. Painted by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Osmerkin in 1927, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed at the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
The scene depicted shows a group of soldiers and sailors storming the grand staircase of the Winter Palace, pillars towering above them as they carry out their bloodless coup. A soldier can be seen casually smoking a cigarette, adding an air of nonchalance to this daring act that would change the course of history.
The painting perfectly encapsulates the tension and excitement of this momentous uprising by Bolshevik forces against the Provisional Government. The red guards are shown with bayonets drawn, ready to seize control and usher in a new era for Russia.
Osmerkin's attention to detail brings this scene to life, capturing not only the physical action but also conveying the emotions and motivations behind it. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the bravery and determination displayed by those who fought for their ideals during this turbulent time in Russian history.
