EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Builders on a boat (From: The Construction of the Saint Isaacs Cathedral)" and created in 1845 by Auguste de Montferrand, offers a glimpse into the world of construction workers during that era. The image showcases a group of builders from France working diligently on the magnificent Saint Isaacs Cathedral in Russia. The scene depicts a midday break for these hardworking individuals as they gather together on a small boat, taking respite from their laborious tasks. Despite their toil and apparent poverty, there is an air of camaraderie among them as they share a meal amidst the picturesque surroundings. Montferrand's meticulous attention to detail brings this genre painting to life, capturing both the physicality and humanity of these builders. Through his masterful use of graphic arts, he highlights not only their job but also their resilience and dedication towards constructing such an iconic landmark. This lithograph serves as a testament to the development area during that time period and stands as an enduring example of classicism in fine art. It reminds us of the immense effort required for monumental construction projects like Saint Isaacs Cathedral while shedding light on the lives and struggles faced by building workers in 19th-century Russia. Displayed here from a private collection, this print allows us to appreciate Montferrand's artistic prowess while offering insight into historical construction practices and societal conditions surrounding those involved in such endeavors.
