EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable oil on canvas portrait of Alexander II, the Tsar of Russia. Painted by the talented artist Konstantin Egorovich Makovsky in 1881, this masterpiece captures the essence of the powerful ruler during his final year. In this regal depiction, Alexander II is portrayed seated in military uniform with an air of authority surrounding him. The Tsar's piercing gaze meets our own as he casually smokes a cigarette, exuding both confidence and tranquility. His hand rests gently on his loyal pet dog named Milord (Mylord), symbolizing companionship amidst his imperial duties. However, behind this serene image lies a tragic fate that befell Alexander II just months after this painting was completed. Assassinated in St Petersburg, he became a martyr for his country. The composition beautifully highlights the intricate details of Alexander's uniform and walking stick while emphasizing the bond between man and animal. This stunning artwork not only immortalizes an influential figure but also serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of power. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical treasure from Russian history through their meticulous restoration process. As we admire this print today, we are transported back to a time when emperors ruled vast lands and dogs provided solace amidst turbulent times.
