EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Great Bell of Ivan, located in the historic Kremlin of Moscow. Captured by CM Dixon in the 1970s, this image beautifully portrays the grandeur and scale of this monumental bronze bell. Commissioned by Empress Anna Ivanovna during the early 18th century, it was crafted by master bell-maker Ivan Motorin. However, despite its impressive size and historical significance, tragedy struck during its casting process. The bell suffered a devastating breakage that rendered it permanently out of order. Suspended but never rung, it stands as a testament to both human craftsmanship and unfortunate mishap. Surrounded by a backdrop of fortress walls and with people admiring its magnificence from afar, this photograph captures not only the physical presence of the Tsar Bell but also evokes a sense of awe and wonderment. As one gazes upon this oversized relic from centuries past, they are transported back in time to witness an important piece of Russian history. A popular tourist attraction within Moscow's architectural marvels, this sightseeing gem continues to draw visitors who seek to marvel at its sheer size and learn about its intriguing story. This print serves as a reminder that even broken objects can hold immense value when viewed through a lens of historical significance and cultural appreciation.
