EDITORS COMMENTS
Princess Tarakanova, a captivating portrait painted by Konstantin Dmitrievich Flavitsky in 1864, captures the essence of a tragic figure from Russian history. This oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 245x187.5 cm and is housed at the prestigious Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia. The painting depicts Princess Tarakanova as she languishes in her cell within the infamous Peter and Paul Fortress. Her delicate features are juxtaposed against the starkness of her surroundings, emphasizing her vulnerability as a prisoner. The artist skillfully portrays her longing gaze, hinting at both resignation and defiance. Tarakanova's story is one shrouded in mystery and intrigue.
