EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the powerful presence of Catherine the Great, the renowned ruler of Russia in the 18th century. Painted by Dmitri Grigorievich Levitsky in the early 1780s, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases Catherine as a lawgiver within the grandeur of a temple dedicated to the Goddess of Justice. Standing tall and regal, Catherine is adorned with symbols of her authority and sovereignty. She wears an elegant sash across her chest, while an ermine fur cloak drapes gracefully over her shoulders. A cross and orb rest delicately in her hands, representing both religious devotion and imperial power. Crowned with a majestic tiara, she exudes confidence and wisdom. The artist skillfully portrays Catherine's full-length figure against a backdrop that emphasizes her role as a lawmaker. The Temple of Justice serves as a symbolic setting for this influential queen who sought to establish justice throughout her empire. Displayed at Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery, this painting offers viewers an intimate glimpse into Catherine's reign during one of history's most significant periods for Russia. Levitsky masterfully captures not only Catherine's physical likeness but also conveys her strength and determination as she navigated complex political landscapes. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of Catherine II’s enduring legacy as one of Russia’s most formidable rulers – forever immortalized through Levitsky’s brushstrokes.
