Chaldej, Yevgeny Atop the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin, April 1945. 3 gelatin silver prints forming a panoramic view, printed in the 1990s. Each approx. 30.2 x 40.5 cm. 2 signed by the photographer in pencil on the reverse. Yevgeny Chaldej, a Soviet photojournalist, is renowned for his photographs documenting the capture of Berlin by Soviet troops on May 2, 1945, marking the end of World War II in Europe. His images, particularly the iconic scene of the Soviet flag being raised on the Reichstag building, have become crucial visual records of this historic moment. This more unusual panoramic format of the image *Atop the Brandenburg Gate* offers a sweeping view that includes Pariser Platz and the famous Adlon Hotel, all in a state of ruin at the end of World War II. – In very good condition. Lit.: Ernst Volland and Heinz Krimmer, eds. *From Moscow to Berlin: Images by Russian Photographer Yevgeny Khaldei*. Berlin: Parthas, 1999, ill. p. 72 (variant).
