EDITORS COMMENTS
The Meeting of Mother and Son, 1883 (1965) captures a poignant moment between a mother and her barefoot apprentice son. Painted by Vladimir Makovsky, this masterpiece is housed in the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. The painting depicts a scene from 19th-century Russia, showcasing the harsh realities of child labor and poverty. In this evocative artwork, we see the weary mother visiting her son at his workshop. Both figures are dressed in worn-out clothes, symbolizing their impoverished circumstances. The boy's apron suggests his involvement in manual labor while his bare feet highlight the hardships he endures daily. The artist skillfully portrays the emotions on their faces - worry lines etched on the mother's forehead and exhaustion evident in both their eyes. Through color and realism, Makovsky brings to life the struggles faced by working-class families during this era. This painting serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by mothers for their children's future. It also sheds light on societal issues such as child labor and poverty that plagued 19th-century Russia. Vladimir Fiala's book "Russian Painting of the 18th and 19th Centuries" further explores this artistic movement with insightful analysis into Makovsky's work. This print captures not only an exquisite piece of art but also preserves an important historical narrative.
