RUSSIAN NESTING DOLLS Fairytales Bright Festive w Gold Paint High Quality NEW
Matryoshka, 7 pieces, 8 (20 cm) tall. High quality glossy lacquer finish. Hand painted by Saint Petersburg Artist Anna Moiseikina. No one knows when the first Matryoshka Dolls were made. However it is commonly thought that nested figures were first used by Chinese or Japanese monks. In any case Russian craftsmen have had a long tradition of making wooden objects that fitted into each other, such as Easter Eggs. The combination of the nesting eggs and figure became the Russian art form as we know it today. The classic Russian dolls are of a figure of a girl. They were named "Matryoshka" (Matreshka, Matrioshka) which is the traditional Russian name Matrena. In the year 1900 the Russian "Matryoshka" was awarded a medal at the Paris Exhibition of Applied Arts. Since then this lovely and entertaining art form has continued to win awards (and hearts) worldwide. Matryoshka is the most famous Russian souvenir, it is considered to be a phenomenon in the world culture, a puzzle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, soul of Russia. The art of the Russian matryoshka is the most comprehensive account of the history, production, varieties, and creators of these charming nesting dolls. In their short-100 year history, these nesting dolls have become more than a popular souvenir or a folk craft; they are a medium for the talented Russian artist-entrepreneurs - and a symbol of Russian folk culture. This Russian art is so beautiful and interesting that you will wonder why you didn't start your collection earlier.
The doll here is very bright and festive. This brightness with a lot of patal (gold-like paint) is really typical for Saint Petersburg matryoshkas. Green, red and gold colors are used mostly in this set. Dolls costumes are very rich with a lot of intricate bold details.
High quality lacquer finish adds glance, emphasizing the contrast of the colors. This doll is so beautiful, it will always fix yours and your guests eyes.
