EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Coronation Cup, a remarkable piece of art presented on the momentous occasion of Nicholas II's coronation in 1896. Crafted by an anonymous master, this exquisite cup is now part of a private collection. The image transports us back to a time when nobility and aristocracy reigned supreme in Moscow, during the era of Russian monarchy under the Romanov dynasty. Nicholas II, known as Tsar and Emperor, holds a significant place in Russian history as a statesman and ruler. The cup itself is an embodiment of opulence and grandeur, symbolizing the power and authority that came with being monarch. Made from porcelain enamel on steel, it represents both fine artistry and applied arts. However, behind its beauty lies a tragic tale associated with Khodynka Field - where the coronation ceremony took place. The Khodynka tragedy occurred during these celebrations when thousands gathered to receive gifts but were met with chaos instead. This event led to immense sorrow for many Russians. As we gaze upon this historic artifact through this photo print, we are reminded not only of Russia's rich history but also of the complexities that lie beneath its surface - from moments of triumph to instances marred by tragedy like the Khodynka Cup or "Cup of Sorrows". It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst splendor, there can be hidden stories waiting to be unveiled.
