EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph, Boris Artemyevich Chorikov brings to life a significant moment in Russian history - "The Meeting of Mikhail Skopin-Shuisky and Jakob de La Gardie". The year is 1609, during the tumultuous Time of Troubles, and these two figures stand as representatives of power and influence. Skopin-Shuisky, a statesman and ruler of Moscow Principality, meets with the nobleman de La Gardie. Their encounter takes place within the majestic walls of Moscow Kremlin, symbolizing the grandeur and authority they both possess. As nobility and aristocracy intertwine in this scene, we witness a pivotal moment that will shape Russia's future. Chorikov masterfully captures the essence of this historical event through his meticulous attention to detail. Every stroke on paper breathes life into each character's expression - from Skopin-Shuisky's regal poise to de La Gardie's dignified presence. Through their attire adorned with intricate patterns and symbols denoting their status, we gain insight into their roles as monarchs within Muscovy. This lithograph not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides us with a glimpse into Russia's rich past. It reminds us of the challenges faced by its rulers during times of political turmoil while showcasing the resilience displayed by those who held power. Preserved within the collection at Russian State Library in Moscow, Chorikov's work stands as a testament
