“Unequal marriage” by V.V. Pukireva photo picture in a frame measuring 48*64cm; rolled into a polish (perfectly smooth surface); framed. It looks very nice. The painting was painted by Russian artist Vasily Pukirev; 19th century masterpiece; located in the State Tretyakov Gallery; was first exhibited at an academic exhibition in 1863 and immediately gained wide popularity. The work was written in 1862; immediately after graduating from the Moscow School of Painting; sculpture and architecture and became the most famous painting by V. Pukirev. In 1863, for the painting “Unequal Marriage,” the Academy of Arts awarded V.V. Pukirev the title of professor “in painting folk scenes.” For the first time, the Academy gave such a title to a non-historical painting; but the everyday genre. A new theme loudly announced itself in it - the social contradictions of modern Russian reality.. In “Unequal Marriage” the problem of the powerless position of women; girls without dowries; married against her will; was “exhibited” for everyone to see. Sublime images of ancient and biblical subjects remained the lot of academic painting. “The beautiful is life”; stated N.G. Chernyshevsky. Pukirev wrote himself as the best man. There is an assumption; that the artist painted the young bride from a girl; with whom he was in love - Praskovya Varentsova. In the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery there is a pencil drawing by V.D. Sukhov; made in 1907; on which it is written: “Praskovya Matveevna Varentsova; with which 44 years ago the artist V.V. Pukirev painted his famous painting “Unequal Marriage”. Mrs. Varentsova lives in Moscow; in the Mazurin almshouse" (In this almshouse, established by the merchants Mazurins, lonely people, those without a family, women lived out their lives). Praskovya Varentsova was married to an old man; and Vasily Pukirev soon went abroad for several months; to escape from painful experiences. Both stories took place in 1861; and in 1862 “Unequal Marriage” was created. At the same time, the Synod issued a decree banning marriages with a large age difference. We sell everything at a high price. Address on Tashkenskaya / Utegen Batyr. ost Akhrimenko;
