Description:

Napoleon in burning Moscow - Adam Albrecht (1841) Magnificient and well-known oil-on-canvas "Matchmaking of a Major" painted by the Russian artist Pavel Fedotov (1815-1852) in 1848 has influed talented Fedoskino artist Viktor Kanevskiy to reproduce it on a lacquer box. Oil-on-canvas belongs to the State Tretyakov Gallery. Pavel Fedotov began working on the canvas "The Matchmaking of a Major" in 1848; the same year the painting was completed. In the autumn of 1849, the canvas, entitled "Correction of circumstances, or Matchmaking", was exhibited at the Academy of Arts exhibition along with two other, earlier paintings by the artist "The Fresh Cavalier" (1846) and "The Picky Bride" (1847). According to Alexander Benois, at the exhibition, Fedotov's paintings "had a colossal success, unprecedented since the time of Pompeii". For the painting "The Matchmaking of a Major", the Academy of Arts awarded Pavel Fedotov the title of academician. Art critic Dmitry Sarabyanov called the painting "one of the highest achievements of Fedotov in the field of pictorial art". The first variant (repetition) of the painting "The Matchmaking of the Major", on which the artist worked in 1850-1852, is stored in the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. Although the plot and composition are generally preserved, the version from the Russian Museum has a number of significant differences from the picture from the Tretyakov Gallery. The box is constructed from paper-mache. The painting is framed with a gold line and the box's sides are decorated with two parallel gold lines. The interior is completed with red lacquer, while exterior is painted black. The lid is hinged from the top of the composition and the box rests on four legs. The work is signed with the artists name.
