EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the elegance and grace of Empress Eugenie nee Marie Eugenie de Montijo. Taken around 1862 by Sergei Luvovich Levitsky, a renowned Russian photographer active in Paris, France, this albumen silver print showcases the Empress in all her regal splendor. Empress Eugenie was born into nobility as Marie Eugenie de Montijo de Guzman and went on to marry Napoleon III, becoming the last Empress consort of France. In this photograph, she exudes an air of sophistication and refinement with her elaborate gown adorned with intricate lace details. Her posture is poised yet relaxed, reflecting her confidence and poise as a prominent figure in European society. The skillful use of lighting and composition by Levitsky brings out every delicate feature of Empress Eugenie's face – from her piercing eyes to her perfectly coiffed hair. The albumen silver printing technique used for this image adds a softness that enhances the overall ethereal quality. This print from the Liszt Collection is not just a visual masterpiece but also serves as a historical artifact capturing an important moment in time. It allows us to glimpse into the world of royalty during the mid-19th century and appreciate the timeless beauty embodied by Empress Eugenie nee Marie Eugenie de Montijo.
