EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the powerful presence of Alexander II, Tsar of Russia in the 19th century. With his distinguished face adorned with a well-groomed mustache, he exudes authority and strength. Dressed in an elaborate uniform embellished with epaulettes and medals, he showcases his royal status. Alexander II, also known as The Liberator, holds a significant place in Russian history for emancipating the country's serfs in 1861. However, despite this progressive reform, some deemed the pace of change under his rule to be too slow. Tragically, on March 13th, 1881, Alexander II met a violent end when a bomb thrown by a nihilist student took his life in St Petersburg. This assassination marked a turning point not only for Russia but also for European politics at large. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of this influential figure who shaped Russia during turbulent times. It serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic representation of power and royalty. Displayed against a monochrome backdrop that adds depth to the portrait's intensity, this print is reminiscent of Victorian-era photography techniques. Preserved by Heritage Images' collection curated by oˇ»De≤µ¿, it offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the captivating world of Emperor Alexander II – one that was cut short by tragedy but left an indelible mark on Russian history.
