EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph by Pharamond Blanchard captures the grandeur and splendor of the coronation fireworks that illuminated the night sky in Moscow. The year was 1856, and Emperor Alexander II and Empress Maria Alexandrovna were being crowned at the iconic Dormition Cathedral in the heart of the Moscow Kremlin. As darkness fell, a breathtaking display of colorful pyrotechnics burst forth, painting vibrant streaks across the heavens. Crowds gathered to witness this awe-inspiring spectacle, their faces filled with wonder and excitement. The Romanov dynasty's royal event had drawn people from all walks of life to celebrate this momentous occasion. Blanchard's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life - from the intricate patterns of light dancing above to the sea of eager onlookers below. This lithograph perfectly encapsulates both pageantry and joy as Russia rejoiced under a shower of brilliant fireworks. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience firsthand an extraordinary celebration that unfolded over a century ago. It serves as a testament not only to Russian history but also to human fascination with beauty and spectacle throughout time. Preserved within the State Museum of History in Moscow, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers today with its vivid colors and evocative portrayal of one unforgettable night in nineteenth-century Russia.
