EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the regal presence of Paul I, Emperor of Russia from 1796 to 1801. Painted by Vladimir Lukich Borovikovsky in 1800, this oil on canvas print showcases the authoritative and distinguished nature of the ruler. Standing at an impressive size of 266x202 cm, it is currently housed in the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. Paul I was officially recognized as the son of Peter III and Catherine the Great, although rumors suggested otherwise. The portrait highlights his formal attire and uniform, symbolizing his power and wealth as a member of royalty. Adorned with a crown and draped in ermine cape, Paul exudes opulence and grandeur. The artist skillfully incorporates iconography into this masterpiece, emphasizing Paul's position as a powerful leader through meticulous attention to detail. The architectural backdrop hints at palace surroundings while adding depth to the composition. Borovikovsky's portrayal captures not only Paul I's physical likeness but also his commanding presence that demanded respect from all who encountered him. This print serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance.
