Monika Kopplin highlights the extraordinary variety of decorative
techniques as well as the many stylistic features. The history and
art history of Russia are reflected in the small format of the
lacquer miniatures, painting a lively picture of the various eras.
A comprehensive index of seals expands the catalogue into a
reference book. Russian lacquer art can be traced back to Peter the
Great, who had come to know this flourishing art and craft during
his study trips in Western Europe. The first important work in this
genre in the tsar's empire was completed in 1722 in the form of the
Lacquer Study in his palace of Monplaisir. A second significant
event followed when the Korobov workshop, which was modelled on the
Braunschweig-based Stobwasser workshop, was established in 1793
near Moscow. It is better known by the name of a later owner,
Lukutin. A technical and artistic alignment with the German model
was followed by an increasingly independent Russian development
from the 1820s onwards. At first this found expression in specific
decorative techniques, and later also in specifically Russian
motifs.
