EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the erection of Alexander I's column in the Palace Square, St. Petersburg. Painted by an anonymous Russian artist from the 19th century, this artwork showcases both military and architectural elements that define this significant event in history. The image depicts a bustling crowd gathered around the construction site, witnessing the intricate mechanism used to raise the colossal column into place. The grandeur of Saint Petersburg is beautifully portrayed with its majestic buildings forming a backdrop for this monumental undertaking. The painting not only highlights the technical aspects of constructing such an impressive structure but also emphasizes Russia's rich artistic heritage through its detailed brushwork and vibrant colors. It serves as a testament to the skill and talent of Russian artists during that era. Preserved within the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Russian history where artistry intertwines with architecture and engineering prowess. As we admire this piece, we are transported back to 19th-century Saint Petersburg, marveling at both its beauty and historical significance. This photograph by Photo Josse perfectly captures all these elements while providing us with an opportunity to appreciate Russia's cultural legacy through art and architecture.
