EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, dating back to 1784, showcases the palace-aide-de-camp Alexander Lanskoy, who held a special place in the heart of Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great. The anonymous artist has skillfully captured Lanskoy's noble and refined features with remarkable attention to detail. The painting is a fine example of Russian Rococo artistry and can be found in the esteemed collection of the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg. Painted using oil on canvas, it exudes an air of elegance and sophistication that was characteristic of this era. Catherine II, one of Russia's most influential rulers, had a deep fondness for Lanskoy which is evident in this portrait. His position as her favorite palace aide-de-camp granted him access to her inner circle and undoubtedly contributed to his elevated status within society. The artist's anonymity only adds to the allure surrounding this piece. It invites viewers to ponder over their intentions behind capturing such an intimate portrayal of Lanskoy during his heyday. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the opulence and grandeur that defined Catherine II's reign. This painting serves as a testament not only to Lanskoy's significance but also highlights Catherine II's influence on Russian politics and culture during her rule as Empress.
