"Galitzine: A Glimpse into the Noble Russian Dynasty" Step into the opulent world of the Galitzine family through a collection of exquisite portraits and artifacts. The brushstrokes on "Portrait of the Countess Nikolai Nikolaevich Golovin" transport us to 18th-century Russia, capturing her regal beauty for eternity. In contrast, "Portrait of Feodor, Prince Galitzine" showcases a more delicate medium - watercolor on cardboard. This portrait from 1833 reveals his dignified presence and hints at his influential role in society. The oil-on-canvas masterpiece, "Portrait of Princess Galitzine, " radiates grace and elegance. Her serene expression invites us to delve deeper into her captivating story. "The Galitzines, " depicted in watercolor on paper in 1820, offers a glimpse into their familial bonds as they engage in an intense game of Whist. Their shared moments reflect both their aristocratic lifestyle and love for leisurely pursuits. A departure from traditional portraiture is seen in the black-and-white photograph titled "Game of Whist, St. Petersburg. " This rare visual documentation captures a moment frozen in time during one of their spirited card games. Moving beyond paintings, we encounter pastel artistry with "Princess Praskovia Ivanovna Galitzine. " The soft hues delicately highlight her refined features while revealing her inner strength. Another striking portrait is that of "Princess Vavara Golitsin, " painted around 1800. The artist's skillful strokes bring out her allure while hinting at the complexities beneath her composed facade. Count Alexander Alexeyevich Galitzine's commanding presence shines through every brushstroke in his oil-on-canvas portrayal. His noble bearing reflects his esteemed position within society. An intriguing artifact within this collection is the Mace belonging to Prince Vasily Vasilyevich Galitzine.
