The Czar's Palace in the Kremlin, Moscow: A Glimpse into Russian Majesty, 1805

About the Item

Title : "The Czar's Palace in the Kremlin, Moscow: A Glimpse into Russian Majesty" This hand-colored copperplate engraving, sourced from Friedrich Johann Bertuch’s celebrated *Bilderbuch für Kinder* (Picture Book for Children), Weimar, 1805, provides a stunning depiction of the Czar's Palace in the Kremlin, Moscow. The illustration captures the grandeur and intricate architectural beauty of this iconic citadel, a symbol of Russian power and heritage. The engraving showcases the dazzling golden onion domes, soaring spires, and elaborate facades characteristic of Russian Orthodox and Tsarist architecture. The detailed rendering of the carriages and figures in the foreground brings a sense of daily life within the palace complex, emphasizing the palace's role as both a royal residence and a center of governance. Bertuch’s *Bilderbuch für Kinder* was an ambitious 12-volume encyclopedia aimed at educating children through beautifully detailed illustrations, spanning natural history, architecture, and world cultures. This engraving offers both artistic and historical value, serving as a window into 19th-century European perceptions of Russia and its architectural achievements. Perfect for collectors of architectural engravings or Russian history enthusiasts, this piece exemplifies the skillful fusion of art and education that defines Bertuch’s work. Condition Report Good condition with slight age-related toning and minor foxing. Edges show light wear consistent with its age, but no tears or major flaws. ### Framing Tip Opt for a dark wood or antique gold frame to complement the rich details and colors of the engraving. A cream-colored mat with museum-grade glass will preserve its vibrancy while enhancing its historical appeal. Ideal for an office, library, or study with a cultural or historical theme.
