Immerse yourself in history as you witness the Streltsy in Kitay-gorod, depicted by Rothgiesser with meticulous detail. Lubyanoi Rynok at Trubnaya Square transports you to an era when wood markets thrived amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. Public baths offer respite from the chaos, beautifully captured by Vasnetsov's brushstrokes. The Zemsky prikaz on Red Square serves as a reminder of urban governance and police matters that shaped Moscow during this period. The boyars' mansions stand silent witnesses to centuries gone by, their grandeur preserved through Appolinari Mikhaylovich Vasnetsov's artistry. Venturing deeper into ancient Moskow's Kitay-gorod district reveals cobbled streets teeming with life - merchants barter goods while children play joyfully under watchful eyes. And who could forget the bear trainers? A unique spectacle that captivated audiences then as it does now. Vasnetsov's masterpieces transport us further back in time; his illustrations for N. Kutepov's hunting chronicles evoke images of grand ducal pursuits and imperial splendor, a tapestry woven with threads of culture, commerce, and tradition. Through these glimpses into its past captured by talented artists like Vasnetsov and Rothgiesser, we can appreciate both its beauty and complexity - a city forever etched into history's annals.
