EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Conclusion of the Peace Treaty of Nystad on 20 August 1721. The artwork, found in the Collection of State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, transports us back to this pivotal event during the Great Northern War and Russian-Swedish War. The image is an exquisite example of graphic arts from that era, showcasing intricate details and delicate rococo elements. The etching technique used by the artist, Schenk the Younger (1698-1775), adds depth and texture to the scene. At its center stands Charles XII of Sweden, a prominent figure who played a crucial role in these conflicts. Surrounding him are diplomats and officials engaged in intense negotiations that would ultimately shape European politics for years to come. The fine art print offers viewers a glimpse into this historic treaty signing ceremony at Nystad. It serves as a reminder of how diplomacy can bring about peace even after long periods of conflict. Displayed within the prestigious State Hermitage museum, this artwork not only showcases artistic mastery but also preserves an important chapter in world history. Its presence allows visitors to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance.
