EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Fire in Moscow, September 1812" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Notoff in the 19th century and engraved by Gibele in 1816, this print captures the devastating scene of Moscow engulfed in flames. The image showcases the Kremlin, standing tall amidst billowing smoke and raging fire. The city's iconic bridge over the Moskva River is also depicted, partially consumed by the conflagration. This historical event occurred during Napoleon Bonaparte's ill-fated invasion of Russia. As we delve into this artwork, we witness the chaos that ensued as fleeing inhabitants set their own city ablaze rather than allowing it to fall into enemy hands. The intensity of the flames mirrors both the physical destruction and emotional turmoil experienced during this Napoleonic campaign. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this print serves as a poignant reminder of human resilience amidst tragedy. It transports us back to a time when war ravaged nations and cities alike. Through its vibrant colors and intricate details, this engraving allows us to contemplate not only historical events but also our collective capacity for destruction and rebirth. As we gaze upon "Fire in Moscow" let us remember those who lived through these tumultuous times while appreciating how far we have come since then.
