Coronation Anna Ivanovna took place at the Assumption Cathedral in Moscow April 28, 1730 .

The fact that crowned in the Cathedral of the Assumption - is clear: it is for the purpose originally served . But here is how the artist painted interior - amazing: just one piece points out that this is the Uspenski Cathedral. Obviously, engraving was done in a hurry . I do not know what other considerations might force the artist to do so with the interior.

Artist seems more interested in the person depicted.

Well, yes, of course, but generally very revealing: shameless attitude to the main cathedral of the state in favor of the Empress and ever.

Yes, shows the attitude of the then enlightened society in church affairs.

This is Anna Ivanovna - enlightened society????


Fed, sorry for offtopic!

Great image of a group of princes . Yes, enlightened society .
The fourth and last son of Emperor Nicholas I.
The third son of Emperor Nicholas I.

Specific differences with the image of the 17th century. - The coronation of Mikhail Fedorovich in the Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin, I had not noticed.

And now?
Looked-had several renovations.

Or maybe they do not depict the interior of the church?

It's 2 different reason: the princes, dukes, and the crowning of the cathedral, separately.
Just put up the same theme.

Yes , of course. Look for a book at home , I shall add something tomorrow . But where did the 7-series iconostasis ?

1. Gregory Katchalov . Coronation ceremony , held at the Assumption Cathedral. 1744 . Drawing by E. Grimmel . Etching, incisor .
41.6 x 55.5
Source : Press Release THG

2 . The coronation of kings John and Peter

3 . The coronation of Catherine the Great

The frescoes on the walls of the middle of the XVII century. Perhaps , though it was more important to quickly than reproduce the interior exactly .

Fed, the book, as promised , has found , but nothing new has been learned . Probably still does not make sense to go into the story .
 
The main thing here is that such coronation etchings once there were empty walls.

And so why artists do so - it is only they knew . But , in my opinion, this is not good (but it is, by the way ) .

Here is an image from the collection of the coronation of Elizabeth Petrovna.

As I understand it, the center of the top row shows the simplified, and the number of rows in another way, and the height of rows, the same, although the engraving and in the church in many ways.

Now the altar gate, probably less did.
