Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, was a prominent figure in Russian history. Born in 1729, she ascended to the throne as Empress of Russia in 1762 and ruled until her death in 1796. Throughout her reign, Catherine II implemented numerous reforms that modernized Russia and solidified its position as a major European power. She was particularly interested in education and culture, establishing schools and promoting the arts. One famous portrait by Fyodor Stepanovich Rokotov showcases her regal presence and elegance. Another painting depicts her wearing a magnificent coronation gown from around 1762.
