EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking 18th-century engraving by Aleksei Kulpacnikov, we witness an important moment in the coronation of Catherine II, the Empress and Autocrat of All the Russias. The scene takes place in Moscow, as Catherine II is being crowned and celebrated by her people. At the center of the image stands a secretary of the Senate, dressed in formal attire, accompanied by two heralds and the band of the guard. The secretary, with a serious expression, holds a document in his hand, likely related to the coronation proceedings. The heralds, dressed in ornate robes and holding trumpets, announce the emperor's arrival with fanfare. The band of the guard, positioned behind the secretary, plays a lively tune, adding to the festive atmosphere. The backdrop of the image is the impressive Asania Building, a symbol of Moscow's grandeur and power. The crowd in the foreground cheers and claps, their faces filled with excitement and awe. Catherine II, not depicted in the image, is likely making her way to the coronation site, surrounded by her courtiers and nobles. This engraving provides a glimpse into the grandeur and spectacle of Catherine II's coronation, as well as the important role played by the secretary of the Senate and the heralds in the ceremony. The intricate details of the engraving, from the ornate costumes to the architectural details of the Asania Building, transport us back to the 18th century and offer a fascinating glimpse into Russian history.
