EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph captures a momentous event in Russian history - the coronation of Emperor Alexander II and Empress Maria Alexandrovna. The grand ceremony took place on September 7th, 1856 at the magnificent Dormition Cathedral within the Moscow Kremlin. The artist Mihaly Zichy skillfully depicts this royal occasion with meticulous attention to detail. The image showcases an opulent interior adorned with exquisite lighting fixtures and a resplendent chandelier that illuminates the scene. The imperial family is shown paying homage to their newly crowned ruler, surrounded by members of high society who have gathered for this auspicious event. The composition exudes elegance and pageantry as it captures not only the architectural beauty of the cathedral but also highlights the regal attire worn by both men and women in attendance. It offers us a glimpse into Russian Orthodox traditions and religious customs that were deeply intertwined with monarchy during this era. Preserved within the State Museum of History in Moscow, this lithograph serves as a testament to Russia's rich cultural heritage and its enduring fascination with royalty. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to a time when emperors ruled over vast territories and ceremonies such as these symbolized power, tradition, and national identity. Through Zichy's artistic vision, we can appreciate both the splendor of imperial Russia and gain insight into its complex social fabric during one of its most significant moments in history.
