Short art story: “Old Moscow” by Igor Dubovoy

https://peopleandpaintings.com/artwork/old-moscow

A monochrome watercolor outlines the image of an Old Moscow: a beautiful view, almost a postcard view. The study of architecture proves the great skills of the artist for shapes and structures. The image of the citadel makes us think of dates and historical landmarks. The title may be a reference to history.

And history teaches us that, since its existence was first mentioned in 1147, Moscow has played a pivotal role in Russian history. It became the capital of the Grand Principality of Moscow in the 13th century. Today Moscow is not only the political center of Russia, but also the country's most populous city and its industrial, cultural, scientific and economic capital.

For more than 600 years, Moscow was also the spiritual center of the Russian Orthodox Church.
