EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Builders drinking Sbiten (From: The Construction of the Saint Isaacs Cathedral), 1845" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of construction workers in 19th-century Russia. Created by Auguste de Montferrand, a renowned French artist known for his architectural works, this print showcases his mastery in capturing everyday scenes with remarkable detail. In this image, we see a group of builders taking a well-deserved break from their laborious tasks on the streets surrounding the iconic Saint Isaacs Cathedral. Amidst the hustle and bustle of construction work, these hardworking individuals find solace in savoring Sbiten - a traditional Russian hot beverage made from honey and spices. A street vendor or sbitenshchik can be seen serving them this comforting drink. Montferrand's lithograph not only highlights the physicality and dedication required for such monumental projects but also portrays moments of camaraderie among these builders. Their weary expressions are contrasted with genuine smiles as they bond over shared experiences during their development endeavors. With its impeccable attention to detail and skillful execution, this artwork exemplifies classicism within graphic arts. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of construction work during that era. Preserved in a private collection today, this fine art print continues to captivate viewers with its ability to transport us back in time – reminding us of the immense efforts undertaken by those who built our architectural wonders centuries ago.
