EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Russian history - "The Assassination of Alexander II on 13 March 1881". The artist remains anonymous, but their work speaks volumes about the turbulent times of the Russian monarchy. In this portrait, we see a man who was once considered an emblem of power and authority - Tsar Alexander II. Dressed in aristocratic attire, he exudes regality and confidence. However, his stoic expression hints at the weight of responsibility that comes with ruling an empire. But tragedy strikes as chaos unfolds around him. This image freezes time at the very moment when terror engulfs the tsar's world. The assassination attempt by members of Narodnaya Volya (People's Will), a revolutionary organization seeking to overthrow imperial rule, is captured with raw intensity. The use of gouache on paper adds depth to this historical scene while enhancing its primitivism aesthetic. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of great upheaval, art can capture truth and emotion. "The Assassination of Alexander II" not only immortalizes this significant event but also symbolizes rebellion against oppressive regimes worldwide. It stands as a testament to the power that individuals hold when united for change. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection, we are transported back to Imperial Russia—a time where monarchs ruled with iron fists and revolutionaries fought for justice amidst political turmoil.
