Moscow 1943

"Moscow" (1943) by Karpo Trokhymenko, a Ukrainian-born Soviet artist, depicts a snowy scene of the iconic Red Square in Moscow, Russia. The painting captures the cityscape, highlighting the Kremlin walls and the towering Spasskaya Tower, a symbol of Russian power. The composition is dominated by a wide, snowy expanse, with the Moskva River winding through the scene, hinting at the city's historic grandeur and the resilience of the Russian spirit, particularly during wartime. The inclusion of vehicles and pedestrians on the bridge further emphasizes the enduring vibrancy of Moscow even in the face of adversity.
