"Czar Alexander: A Glimpse into the Reign of Russia's Illustrious Emperor" Step back in time to the early 19th century, where a powerful figure known as Czar Alexander I ruled over the vast Russian Empire. The Column Alexander, standing tall in St. Petersburg since c1900, serves as a reminder of his grandeur and influence. Intriguingly, behind every great ruler stands an equally remarkable consort. Elizabeth, Consort of Alexander I, captured hearts with her grace and elegance during the 19th century. An exquisite portrait by Charles Turner transports us to that era. Alexander I's reign witnessed historic events that shaped nations. One such momentous occasion was when he presented Russian troops to none other than Napoleon himself on July 8th, 1807. This significant encounter is immortalized through art dating back to 1882-1884. Traveling further back in time takes us to Memel in 1802 when Alexander I received a warm reception from his people. The painting depicting this event showcases the emperor's charisma and popularity among his subjects. Artists throughout history have sought to capture the essence of this enigmatic ruler. Portraits by Hopwood (19th century), Canton (1815), George Dawe (1825), and Franz Kruguer (1837) offer glimpses into different facets I's persona – be it regal authority or equestrian prowess. Not only was Czarina Elizabeth Alexeievna an influential figure beside her husband; she also left her mark on history with her own unique charm and beauty as portrayed by Jean-Henri Benner in a stunning artwork from 1824. The legacy continued with Czar Alexander II who ascended to power in Moscow during September 1856. His rule marked another chapter in Russia's rich history – one filled with reforms and progress for its people.
