In 1547, at the tender age of 17, Ivan the Great was proclaimed
Czar (from the Latin Caesar) of all
Russias.
This title, which originated from a legend which recognised
the imperial rights to one of his predecessors from a Byzantine
Basileus, made him the first autocratic emperor and the initiator
of a long period of great developments in several areas; one
of the best and most significant periods being the Empire of
Alexandaer I ( 1801-1825 )
Interpreting certain medallions of Fyodor Tolstoy which illustrates
the patriotic war of 1812. inspired by Ancient Greece and Rome,
I have symbolised it's military strength, the pride of the Motherland
and the strength and character of it's inhabitants and, at the
same time, it's culture.
I have recalled it's political importance and, using the lions
at the end of teh cap, it's economic importance, sovereignty
not disjointed by luxury and beauty.
The original clip which completes this pen recalls an Egyptian
divinity, a clear allusion to a fundamental style which, together
with the Renaissance, especially the Italian Renaissance, and
then the Baroque period, relived and animated a little, contributed
to the reation of superb cities and masterpieces, everlasting
documents of splendour and grandeur.
