EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Russian bear and her invincible rider, 1791" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous artist, this artwork is part of a private collection that sheds light on the intriguing relationship between Russia and Great Britain during the late 18th century. The image portrays Empress Catherine II of Russia, famously known as Catherine the Great, riding confidently atop a Russian bear. This caricature showcases her power and dominance as she navigates through the political landscape of her time. The bear symbolizes both Russia's strength and its untamed nature. Catherine's reign was marked by numerous accomplishments, including expanding Russian territories and modernizing the country. Her close alliance with Grigori Potemkin, depicted alongside her in this artwork, played a crucial role in these achievements. Together they formed an unstoppable force that challenged other European powers. Intricately detailed with copper engraving and watercolor techniques, this fine art piece captures the essence of Russian history and monarchy at its height. It serves as a reminder of Catherine's autocratic rule while also showcasing her strategic alliances with influential figures like George III of Great Britain. Preserved by the Library of Congress' Heritage Images collection, this print offers us a glimpse into an era where politics intertwined with artistry to create powerful visual narratives that still resonate today.
