EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Choosing a Bride, Early 19th Century" we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in the lives of Russian women. Created by the talented artist Roberto Roberti, this painting beautifully captures the essence of traditional marriage customs and folklore. The scene depicts a group of elegantly dressed women, adorned in exquisite traditional costumes and headdresses known as kokoshniks. These intricate headgears symbolize their cultural heritage and serve as an expression of their identity. The bride-to-be stands at the center, surrounded by her family and potential suitors who have come to participate in the age-old tradition of match-making. As we delve into this neoclassical masterpiece, we are reminded of the significance placed on matrimony during these times. The painting offers us a glimpse into ancient Russia's societal norms and values surrounding betrothal and wedlock. Through his masterful use of oil on canvas, Roberti brings to life not only the physical beauty but also the emotional intensity present within each character's gaze. We can almost feel their anticipation, hopefulness, and perhaps even apprehension as they partake in this crucial decision-making process. This fine art image from a private collection serves as both an aesthetic delight for art enthusiasts and an invaluable historical document that sheds light on domestic life during domostroy times. It is truly remarkable how one painting can encapsulate centuries' worth of tradition, culture, love stories, hopes, dreams - all frozen
