BORIS KUSTODIEV
(Design). Five hand painted porcelain plates by Kornilov
factory, signed BK and dated 1916
on reverse with
caricatures on Rasputin, Nicolas II and Alexandra Feodorovna. D=10".
Three of the plates (images in the left column) evidently
have been produced when Rasputin was alive, two others are
reflecting period when he was already murdered (Dec 1916).
|
 |
 |
[A mystic, Rasputin had strange
healing powers. When no one else could help Alexei's
bleeding disorder, Rasputin made the bleeding stop. When the
family thought Alexei would die, Rasputin helped him get
well. Alexandra, obsessed with guilt for passing the dreaded
disease to her son, began to depend
on Rasputin for
everything.
Despite his slovenly
appearance and habits, Rasputin had total access to the
royal family. (Follow the link to view rare film footage of
them.) This shocked even the aristocracy. Contemporary
newspapers contained caricatures depicting
Rasputin's hold over Nicholas and Alexandra.
Rasputin had made an eerie prediction before he died. “If I
am killed by common assassins and especially by my brothers
the Russian peasants, you, Tsar of Russia, have nothing to
fear for your children, they will reign for hundreds of
years in Russia....if it was your relations who have wrought
my death, then no one in your family, that is to say, none
of your children or relations will remain alive for two
years. They will be killed by the Russian people...I shall
be killed. I am no longer among the living.
. Pray, pray, be strong,
think of your blessed family.”] |
