A Boyar Wedding Feast in the 17th Century
Konstantin Makovsky
1883
______________________________
This is, perhaps, the most famous Russian “wedding” painting. One can almost hear the ribald and earthy comments of the guests. There’s an interesting juxtaposition of virginal innocence and randy raunchiness in this painting. It rewards a second look, I say.
