EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment in the court of Peter the Great of Russia. In this scene, we witness the powerful emperor ordering Karol Skowronski to kiss the hem of his sister's skirt, Empress Catherine I. The artwork is part of a collection titled "Les Imperatrices France, Russie, Autriche, Bresil" by Adelaide Celliez and was published in Paris around 1860. The image showcases the opulent attire and elaborate costume design worn by both Catherine I and Peter the Great. Catherine stands regally with her crown atop her head while Peter exudes authority as he commands Skowronski's act of reverence. The artist skillfully portrays their positions within European history during this period. The lithograph offers a glimpse into an intriguing era characterized by political alliances and power dynamics between nations. It serves as a reminder that even within royal families, relationships could be complex and influenced by societal expectations. Overall, this print provides viewers with an opportunity to delve into Russian history through artistry. It invites us to contemplate themes such as hierarchy, loyalty, and gender roles prevalent during that time. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to a fascinating chapter in European history where emperors ruled with absolute authority and grandeur reigned supreme.
