About the Item

Engraving of the Bronze Horseman Statue of Peter the Great, St. Petersburg This finely hand-colored engraving depicts the iconic "Bronze Horseman," the equestrian statue of Peter the Great in St. Petersburg. Created by the French sculptor Étienne-Maurice Falconet, the statue was commissioned by Catherine the Great in 1768 as a tribute to her predecessor, emphasizing Peter's role as a modernizer of Russia. The engraving showcases the monument's dramatic design, with Peter astride a rearing horse atop the "Thunder Stone," a massive granite pedestal hauled from Finland in a remarkable engineering feat. The scene is framed by ornate fencing and set against a serene sky, reflecting the artistic and symbolic importance of this monument to Russian history and culture. This engraving, likely created in the early 19th century, captures the grandeur of Falconet's masterpiece and offers a view of its powerful symbolism. The detailed craftsmanship and soft coloring enhance its historical and decorative value. Condition Report: Light age toning, minor creases, some edge wear, vibrant hand-coloring preserved.
