EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Moscow Orphanage" offers a glimpse into the architectural beauty and grandeur of 19th-century Moscow. Created by French artist Philippe Benoist in approximately 1848, this piece is part of a larger panoramic view of the city consisting of ten parts. The image showcases the impressive exterior and surrounding landscape of The Moscow Orphanage, situated along the picturesque Moskva River. With its classicism-inspired architecture, this building stands as a testament to the artistic vision and attention to detail prevalent during that era. Notably, this orphanage holds historical significance as it was established under the patronage of Empress Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great. Her commitment to social welfare led her to establish numerous institutions like this one throughout Russia. Benoist's fine art lithograph beautifully captures both the exterior facade and interior details of The Moscow Orphanage. Its vibrant colors bring life to every corner depicted in this artwork, allowing viewers to appreciate not only its architectural splendor but also envision how it served as a sanctuary for countless children in need. Preserved within a private collection, this print serves as an invaluable record of Russian history and culture. It reminds us not only of Empress Catherine II's legacy but also highlights the importance placed on caring for society's most vulnerable members during that time period.
