EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Admiral Jose (Osip) de Ribas, a remarkable figure of the 18th century. Painted by an anonymous Russian artist, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 129x99 cm and exudes an air of authority and distinction. Admiral Ribas, born as Jose Pascual Domingo de Ribas y Boyons in 1749, was known by his Russian name Osip (Iosif) Mikhailovich Deribas. Hailing from a Spanish-Irish background, he played a pivotal role in history as the founder of Odessa. His visionary plan to transform the site into a prominent Russian port with an ice-free harbor caught the attention of Catherine the Great. In this half-length portrait, Admiral Ribas is depicted wearing his naval uniform adorned with medals and a sash that accentuates his prestigious rank. The intricate brocade detailing adds elegance to his attire while his wig symbolizes the fashion trends of that era. The artist skillfully captures Admiral Ribas' commanding presence and noble features through meticulous brushwork. His piercing gaze reflects determination and wisdom acquired through years at sea. This print not only immortalizes one man's contribution to Russia but also serves as a testament to the power of ambition and innovation. It stands as a reminder that individuals can shape history through their vision and dedication.
