EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating "Fire of Moscow on 15th September 1812 (The French in Moscow)" that unfolded during the early 19th century. Painted by Salvatore Cardelli, an active artist in the 1800s, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases a significant event in Russian history. The painting is currently housed in the prestigious State Hermitage collection located in St. Petersburg. The scene depicted portrays the chaos and destruction caused by the fire that engulfed Moscow during Napoleon's ill-fated invasion of Russia. The flames rage fiercely, illuminating both buildings and people caught amidst this catastrophic event. Cardelli's attention to detail allows viewers to witness firsthand the terror and despair experienced by those affected. Sergei Ivanovich Gribkov, a renowned Russian painter of genre scenes from the same era, played a crucial role in preserving this historical moment through his meticulous documentation of events like these. His work serves as a testament to Russia's resilience and determination even amidst such adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of fine art imagery, we are transported back to one of history's most dramatic moments - when fire ravaged Moscow while foreign forces occupied its streets. This photograph print not only offers us a glimpse into our past but also reminds us of humanity's ability to endure and rebuild after facing unimaginable challenges.
