Peredvizhniki painter of historical scenes Konstantin Makovsky rejected his training from the academy to render life with a Romantic sensibility. “A Boyar Wedding Feast” is an exemplary Makovsky, and perhaps his masterwork, depicting a sweeter life in older times among the peasants. The canvas won the gold medal at the World’s Fair two years after its creation.
