EDITORS COMMENTS
This copper engraving captures the grandeur and splendor of the fireworks display held on the birthday of Emperor Peter III on February 10,1762 in Tsarskoye Selo. The anonymous artist skillfully depicts the mesmerizing pyrotechnics that illuminated the night sky, creating a breathtaking spectacle for all to behold. In this historic moment, we catch a glimpse into the opulent world of Russian aristocracy during Catherine II's reign. As Empress Catherine II (also known as Catherine the Great) ascended to power after her husband's untimely death, this celebration marked an important milestone in her journey towards becoming one of Russia's most influential rulers. The image showcases not only the dazzling fireworks but also provides insight into key figures from this era. We see Duke Karl Peter Ulrich, who would later become Emperor Peter III, alongside his wife Grand Duchess Catherine (the future Empress Catherine II). Their regal presence symbolizes their roles as monarchs-to-be and hints at their shared destiny within Russian history. This exquisite piece of graphic art serves as a testament to both Russian artistic talent and historical significance. Preserved in Moscow's State Museum of A. S. Pushkin, it stands as a reminder of Russia's rich cultural heritage and its illustrious House of Romanov dynasty.
