EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and significance of the crowning ceremony of Tsarina Maria Alexandrovna of Russia in Moscow, 1856. The artist, Mihaly Zichy, skillfully depicts the momentous event that took place at the Dormition Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin. The coronation of Emperor Alexander II and Empress Maria Alexandrovna was a symbol of power and religious devotion. The image showcases an array of vibrant colors as members of the clergy, adorned in their traditional attire, surround the newly crowned empress. The iconic interior of the cathedral is illuminated by a majestic chandelier, casting a warm glow on this historic occasion. In this snapshot from history, we witness Tsarina Maria Alexandrovna kneeling before her faith and country as she assumes her role as empress. The presence of other women within the congregation highlights both their importance and influence during this era. Through this lithograph, we are transported back to a time when monarchy reigned supreme in Russia. It serves as a reminder not only of royal pageantry but also religious customs deeply embedded within Russian society. Preserved within the State Museum of History in Moscow, this fine art piece by Mihaly Zichy allows us to appreciate both his artistic talent and capture an intimate glimpse into one chapter from Russia's rich history.
