EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the enchanting beauty of Leningrad, USSR, showcasing the iconic Peter and Paul Fortress and the majestic River Neva at sunset. The artist behind this masterpiece is CM Dixon, whose talent brings to life the rich history and architectural marvels of Russia. The Peter and Paul Fortress stands as a testament to the vision of Peter the Great, who founded St. Petersburg in 1703. Designed by Domenico Trezzini between 1706-1740, this original citadel served multiple purposes throughout its existence. In the early 20th century, it became a prison under tsarist rule. As sunlight bathes the landscape in warm hues, shades of pink dance across the sky reflecting off both water and buildings alike. The silhouette of this fortification against such a breathtaking backdrop creates an awe-inspiring sight that speaks volumes about Russian heritage. The image not only showcases architectural brilliance but also highlights nature's splendor with its depiction of the flowing River Neva beneath a radiant sun setting on another day in Leningrad. CM Dixon's photograph transports us back in time while reminding us of our connection to history and geography. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, cultural landmarks like these continue to shape our understanding of nations' pasts.
