EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design created for the Serf Theatre of Sheremetev in 1785. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Marianna Kuerzinger, whose talent and creativity shine through in every brushstroke. The image takes us back to a time when theatre and opera were not only forms of entertainment but also reflections of social hierarchies. In this particular scene, we witness the exploitation and oppression endured by the peasants under feudalism. The actors, dressed as serfs, portray their daily struggles while being overshadowed by the nobility and aristocracy. The fine art oil on canvas captures the essence of Russian history with its theatrical scenic painting depicting an estate owned by wealthy landowners. Praskovya Zhemchugova, known for her exceptional singing abilities, stands out among the cast as she embodies both beauty and talent. As we delve into this historical piece, it becomes evident that Kuerzinger's work serves as a powerful reminder of the injustices faced by those living under serfdom during that era. It prompts us to reflect on our own society's progress towards equality and justice. Preserved in the State Central A. Bakhrushin Theatre Museum in Moscow, this print allows us to appreciate not only Kuerzinger's artistic brilliance but also sheds light on an important chapter in Russian culture and societal transformation.
