EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Catherine the Great Easter Egg, created in 1914 by artist Henrik Immanuel Wigstrom as part of the Faberge manufacture. Now housed in the esteemed Hillwood Museum collection in Washington, this masterpiece is a testament to the opulence and artistry of early 20th-century Russia. Crafted from gold and adorned with intricate jewelry, this Art Nouveau-inspired jewel is a true marvel. The egg's design pays homage to Catherine the Great, one of Russia's most influential rulers. Its rich symbolism reflects her reign and legacy, making it an object of historical significance. The Romanov dynasty, particularly Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Fyorodovna, were avid collectors of Faberge eggs. This particular piece holds immense value not only for its craftsmanship but also for its association with these prominent figures in Russian history. Enamels and gems embellish every inch of this stunning creation, showcasing the mastery of Wigstrom's technique. Each delicate detail tells a story that transports us back to a time when luxury knew no bounds. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print, we are reminded of Princess Alix of Hesse and by Rhine (later known as Alexandra Feorodovna), who received this extraordinary gift from her beloved husband Nicholas II on Easter day over a century ago. With its fusion of Russian artistry and imperial grandeur, this Faberge egg stands as an enduring symbol not just within applied arts but also within our collective
