The Marriage of Ivan III and Sophia Palaiologina, 1472 - A Glimpse into Russian Monarchy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in Russian history - the wedding of Ivan III and Sophia Palaiologina. Painted by Boris Artemyevich Chorikov in 1836, this lithograph beautifully depicts the grandeur and opulence of the occasion. The image transports us back to Moscow's Kremlin, where nobility and aristocracy gather to witness this union between two powerful families. The bride, Sophia Palaiologina, hailing from the Byzantine Empire's prestigious Palaeologus dynasty, adds an air of exoticism to the scene. Ivan III, known as Ivan the Great or Ivan Vasilevich, stands tall as he takes his vows alongside his radiant bride. As one of Russia's most influential rulers during medieval times, Ivan III solidified Moscow's position as a center of power and laid the foundations for what would become known as "the Third Rome".

As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece found within the collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow today, we are reminded of how art can transport us through time and provide glimpses into moments that
