Vasili Pukirev. Unequal Marriage. 1862–1862. State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.

Unequal Marriage is a masterpiece of Vasily Pukirev (1832-1890). It is one of art history's most heartbreaking paintings. To study it, you need to keep track of the whole "abyss of little things", for every detail, because otherwise we risk missing a lot.

There are two strange figures on the canvas — old women. One stands behind the groom, the other behind the priest. Both for some reason came in wreaths, and one either in a white dress, or even in a sheet or a funeral shroud. The figure of the second bride behind the priest's back looks even more strange, because this is not according to the rules of the rite. There is nothing for guests to do next to the priest — unless, of course, they come from another world.

It turns out that there are three brides at the wedding at once. Two of them are dead and looking at the old groom. And here is the artist Vasily Pukirev! He's standing with his arms crossed in the right corner and looking at the young bride. Next to him, his friend, the artist Pyotr Shmelkov, who suggested the idea of the painting to him, looks at us and seems to be asking a question: "Do you understand what's going on?".

Just dropped in to say that The Unequal Marriage by Vasili Pukirev just screams Alicent and Viserys. If we got their wedding scene this would be what came to my mind.

The sorrowful resignation on Alicent's face here and the bride's face in the painting are literally the same. They are both fully aware that they will never be afforded the luxury of being married to someone that they love, someone their age, someone who won't look down on them. Instead they are being married to men older than them, more powerful, a husband who they will always have to crane their neck up to look at.

Financial abuse can happen to any of us -getting married to men who either want us to be stay at home mom's/partner's to them and don't want us 'to work/maintain work skills/gain new skills' because they are is a huge red flag... it's sincerely such a slippery slope, and I partly blame the Trad Wives romanticizing being a SAHM/someone who stays at home to 'take care of their man,' online because your entire identity shouldn't revolve around this and being a parent is A LOT of work. And I'm not saying marriage or being a parent is bad -but getting married without a prenup and having children without having security outside of your husband's work can be dangerous and lead to abusive situations (and I mean this in no way to shame anyone who ends up in a situation like hers -but please, listen to women's stories and stories like hers before even considering marriage and having kids because there are so horrifying and heartbreaking one's out there and it's something I do believe we need to be aware of). Because it's all men until it's no men in so many instances.

The amount of unequal gendered divisions of labour going on here as well, on top of her unpaid work in the home -and in CREATING their home... I just, I hope the best for this woman and her kids and every woman like her. And sincerely, fuck heteropatriarchal norms.

The original video is about 6 minutes long, but if you have time to tune in to listen to her story, it doesn't feel long. Some of the things she mentioned that caught my attention was that her ex-husband would give her envelopes of CASH to go grocery shopping, she had no banking account, and he has since only paid alimony ONCE since their divorce, and when she did actually go to a job interview -the man LAUGHED at her not not having any 'real experience' and belittled her for being a SAHM. In the video she says she didn't how ill will towards him but how utterly humiliating to be treated like this. I hope her ex-husband befalls so much misery.

. . . her knowledge of who he was as a person hadn't deepened since their honeymoon. She had expected that they would share everything about their lives, but she was the only one doing the sharing. She had blurted out her entire life story to him . . . and the relief of finally talking to someone had been so great that she hadn't noticed that she was the only one doing the talking. Once she had purged her soul to him she had craved for him to do the same, but he had remained curiously opaque.

THE UNEQUAL MARRIAGE (1862) by VLADIMIROVICH PUKIREV

UNEQUAL MARRIAGE by VLADIMIROVICH PUKIREV shows a marriage ceremony. The bride and groom, as well as the priest, are in the center of the painting, surrounded by what appear to be eight more figures behind and on either side of them. The priest is on the left side of the painting.

The girl's head is down, and her face is sad, as if she's trying to stay composed. There's a bit of red around her eyes, which some people said she cried, and her mouth looks pulled down a bit.

The groom is standing on the right side of the bride. He is much older than the bride. He has a long burning candle on his left hand. The groom looks at the bride with his two side eyes. His lips are slightly parted.

On the right-hand side of the composition, a young man is standing with his hands behind his back, seemingly staring in the groom's direction. His facial expression is one of disapproval, and it has been speculated that this is the artist.

If you look carefully, there is another older woman on the priest's left side, barely visible in the shadows with only a portion of her head visible. Like the first woman, she is wearing a wreath. She is also looking in the groom's direction.

The background appears dark and shadowed, but architecture is visible, which is possibly the inside of the church. There are paintings of what appears to be the VIRGIN MARY and JESUS on the upper edges of the church’s decorations in the background.

Warning against being unequally yoked

We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you. We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us. As a fair exchange— I speak as to my children— open wide your hearts also. Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Therefore, “Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” And, “I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” — 2 Corinthians 6:11-18 | The Books of the Bible NT (BOOKS) The Books of the Bible NT Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc. ® All rights reserved worldwide.
