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?
