About the piece
Painted in 1878 by Piotr Petrovitch Veretschagin, this majestic cityscape captures a historic view of Moscow. The composition is defined by the luminous Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, its golden domes gleaming against a hazy sky, while the foreground depicts a tranquil river scene with figures and boats that evoke the everyday life of the 19th century.
