EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Berlin carriage of Empress Catherine II, a true testament to the opulence and grandeur of 18th-century Russia. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this wooden carriage is adorned with embossed bronze accents, intricate carvings, and gilded embellishments on a gesso ground. Its painted panels further enhance its beauty, transporting us back in time to the golden age of St. Petersburg. Measuring an impressive 560x240x250 cm, this carriage stands as a symbol of power and prestige. It was commissioned by Empress Catherine II herself in 1769 and has since become an iconic piece displayed at the Kremlin Museums in Moscow. The Russian School from the 18th century captured this masterpiece through their lens, preserving its magnificence for generations to come. The print allows us to appreciate every exquisite detail up close, from the ornate wheels to the luxurious upholstery that accommodates four passengers. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world where elegance meets functionality; where craftsmanship merges seamlessly with artistry. This Berlin carriage not only served as a means of transportation but also represented status and sophistication during Catherine II's reign.
