EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the historic moment of Peter the Great founding Saint Petersburg, beautifully captured by artist Pietro Antonio Novelli. The image transports us back to a time when Russia's grandest city was just emerging from its humble beginnings. In this scene, we see Peter the Great himself standing proudly on a boat as it sails along the Neva River. Surrounded by his loyal navy and aristocracy, he gazes towards the riverbanks with determination and vision. The tranquil waters of the river reflect his ambition for this new capital city. The composition is rich in detail, showcasing not only Peter's leadership but also highlighting the architectural beauty that would soon grace these lands. The elegant buildings lining both sides of the river foreshadow Saint Petersburg's future as a beacon of Russian culture and power. Novelli's masterful use of copper engraving brings an air of sophistication to this historical artwork. Every stroke captures the essence of Russian history during this pivotal period under Peter I Alexeyevich's rule. As we gaze upon this fine art piece, we are reminded of Saint Petersburg's significance in shaping Russia into what it is today. It serves as a testament to Peter the Great's unwavering dedication and foresight in establishing one of Europe's most magnificent cities.
