"The Muscovite Boyar: A Glimpse into the Rich History and Culture of Old Moscow" Step back in time to early 1920s Moscow, where bookshops lined the Christ the Saviour Bridge, offering a haven for literary enthusiasts. The All Saints Bridge also stood proudly, showcasing Vasnetsov's artistic brilliance. Meanwhile, on Nikolskaya Street, the Print Yard buzzed with activity as printing presses churned out knowledge and ideas. Travel further back to the 1790s and behold Giacomo Antonio Domenico Quarenghi's masterpiece - a breathtaking view of the Neglinnaya River and Kitay-gorod from Petrovsky Square. Immerse yourself in this historical panorama that captures the essence of old Moscow. At Myasnitskaya Gates in the XVII century, Appolinari Mikhaylovich Vasnetsov transports us through his artistry to witness life within Bely Gorod. Experience its grandeur and marvel at its architectural wonders. Delve deeper into history with Christian Lorenzen Rothgiesser's illustration depicting Streltsy warriors in Kitay-gorod during their travels to meet great dukes of Muscovy. Feel their strength and determination as they navigate this ancient cityscape. Tsars and boyars take center stage in Klavdi Vasilyevich Lebedev's artwork from 1907. Admire their regal attire - silk caftans that exude opulence while reflecting Russian traditions passed down through generations. Transporting us even further back is "Antiquities of the Russian State, " revealing exquisite garments worn by Tsar Ivan IV himself - a testament to his power and influence over Russia's rich heritage.
