NIKOLAY ZHUKOV (1908-1973) LENINGRAD. 1935. 39 1/2x27 1/4 inches, 100 1/4x69 1/4 cm. Intourist, USSR. Condition B+: minor tears, repaired tears and abrasions at edges; creases in margins and image; tape on verso. Paper. The dome and silhouette of St. Isaac's Cathedral in present-day Saint Petersburg is seen from across the Neva River. Under the Communist Government, the Cathedral was turned into a museum (of Atheism). The impressive structure is recognizable even through the fog, though the spire was likely the artist's invention, as no architectural record of such a large spire can be found. Intourist pl. 17.
