EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Russian history - the triumphal entry of the Coronation Procession into Kremlin on August 17,1856. The image showcases the grandeur and opulence of the coronation ceremony of Emperor Alexander II, ruler of Russia at that time. The photograph beautifully depicts the majestic Moscow Kremlin, with its iconic Spasskaya Tower and Divine Savior Tower standing tall in the background. As we gaze upon this historical scene, we are transported back to a time when monarchy reigned supreme and nobility held great influence. The composition exudes a sense of romanticism, as it portrays an aristocratic man riding atop his horse amidst a crowd of admirers. This monarch is none other than Emperor Alexander II himself, adorned in regal attire befitting his status as head of state. Vasily Semyonovich Sadovnikov's masterful watercolour technique brings life to this stunning piece of art from 1856. It serves as a testament to his skill as an artist and his ability to capture not only physical details but also emotions and atmosphere. Preserved within the collection of State Museum of the History of Saint Petersburg, this print offers us a glimpse into Russian history during one of its most important moments. It reminds us that behind every powerful empire lies individuals who shape its destiny - statesmen like Alexander II who left an indelible mark on their nation's story.
