EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Peter I, also known as Peter the Great, in a moment of solitude and contemplation at his favorite palace, Monplaisir. Painted by Valentin Aleksandrovich Serov, this gouache on paper laid on card artwork measures 74.2x65.2 cm and is housed in the Odessa Fine Arts Museum in Ukraine. Peter I was a prominent figure in Russian history, ruling from 1672 to 1725. In this portrait, he gazes out of a window overlooking the Gulf of Finland from his beloved palace located in Lower Park of Petrodvorets (or Peterhof). The serene expression on his face suggests deep thoughtfulness and introspection. The artist's attention to detail is evident through the intricate brushwork that brings out every nuance of Peter I's features. This piece belongs to the Peredvizhniki group, which was known for their realistic portrayals and commitment to depicting scenes from everyday life. As we observe this image, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment with one of Russia's most influential rulers. It is as if we can almost hear his thoughts and feel the weighty decisions resting upon his shoulders. Serov masterfully captures not only Peter I's physical appearance but also conveys a sense of peace amidst the chaos that often surrounded him during his reign. This portrait serves as a testament to both Serov's artistic talent and Peter I's enduring legacy as one of Russia
