EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Streltsy, a prominent group of palace guardsmen in Russia during the 17th century. The artwork, created by an anonymous artist in 1693 and found in the State History Museum in Moscow, offers a glimpse into Germany's baroque influence on Russian graphic arts. The image transports us back to a time of troubles known as "Smuta" in Russian history when Muscovy was still evolving into the Grand Duchy of Moscow. The Streltsy troops depicted here were an integral part of this transformation, serving as loyal protectors to both Tsars Ivan and Peter Alexewiz. Dressed elegantly in their ornate uniforms, adorned with intricate details and symbols of nobility, these aristocratic soldiers exude power and authority. Copper engraving techniques have been masterfully employed to capture every fine detail and texture within this historical scene. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded not only of Russia's rich history but also its deep-rooted connection with Germany during this period. This print serves as a testament to the artistic talent that thrived amidst political turmoil and provides us with an invaluable window into the past.
