EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Empress Catherine II" painted by Richard Brompton in 1782. The portrait depicts the powerful and enigmatic ruler, Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, who reigned over Russia from 1762 until her death in 1796. Brompton's masterful use of oil on canvas brings out the regal elegance and commanding presence of this remarkable empress. Her piercing gaze exudes confidence and intelligence, while her elaborate attire reflects her status as a prominent figure in European history. The painting is housed within the prestigious State Hermitage collection in St. Petersburg, Russia. As one of the world's largest and most renowned art museums, it serves as a testament to Catherine II's passion for collecting fine art. This particular piece represents an important genre within Russian painting during the 19th century. It captures not only Catherine II's likeness but also embodies a significant era in Russian history marked by cultural growth and political influence. Sergei Ivanovich Gribkov (1820-1893), a notable artist himself, has expertly captured this stunning image through his lens. This print allows admirers to bring home a piece of history that celebrates both artistic excellence and an extraordinary female leader who left an indelible mark on Russia and beyond.
