In this collection, we commemorate a pivotal moment in history: the emancipation of the serfs. From the decree signed by Emperor Alexander II in 1861, to the announcement in the Dormition Cathedral, and the reactions of various rulers throughout history, these portraits and artworks capture the essence of this unforgettable day. Notable figures such as Nikolaï Miliutin and Yuri Fedorovich Samarin, key figures in the implementation of the reform, are depicted in head-and-shoulders portraits. The Emancipation Manifesto of March 3, 1861, brought an end to serfdom in Russia, marking a turning point in the country's social structure. These pieces, spanning from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, serve as a testament to the impact of this significant historical event.
