EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Russian history - the coronation of two Romanov children, Ivan V and Peter I, in 1682. Created by an anonymous artist during the 19th century, this woodcut showcases fine artistry and book design. The image portrays the young heirs to the Russian throne, Ivan V Alekseyevich and Peter I Alexeyevich (later known as Peter the Great), adorned in regal attire. Their majestic presence is emphasized by their elaborate crowns and luxurious garments, symbolizing their future roles as tsars. This historic event marked a turning point for Russia's monarchy. As Ivan V was mentally disabled, his half-brother Peter I would eventually become one of Russia's most influential rulers. The coronation ceremony depicted here represents not only a formal recognition of their status but also foreshadows the contrasting paths these brothers would take. Through this remarkable woodcut, we are transported back to a time when power struggles within royal families shaped nations' destinies. It serves as a reminder of Russia's rich heritage and its complex dynastic politics that ultimately led to profound changes under Peter the Great's reign. Preserved within the collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, this artwork provides us with an invaluable glimpse into Russian history while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship from both past eras – that of Ivan V and Peter I – as well as from our own present day.
