EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the regal beauty and enigmatic allure of Elizabeth Petrovna, Empress of Russia from 1741 to 1762. Born in 1709 as Anna Elizaveta, the youngest daughter of Peter the Great, Elizabeth ascended to the throne following the death of her nephew, Ivan VI, in a coup d'état. Her reign is marked by significant cultural and political developments in Russia. Elizabeth is depicted in this profile portrait with a striking expression, her piercing gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. Her elaborate hairstyle, adorned with ringlets cascading down her back, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Russian court during her time. The intricate neckline of her gown, with its delicate lace and embroidery, adds to the elegant and refined appearance of the empress. Despite her initial popularity, Elizabeth's reign was marred by political instability and intrigue. She was known for her love of the arts and patronage of the arts and sciences, which led to the flourishing of Russian literature, music, and theater. However, her rule was also marked by a series of wars and military campaigns, including the Seven Years' War and the Russo-Turkish War. Elizabeth's reign ended in 1762 when she was overthrown in a coup and succeeded by her grandnephew, Peter III. She was exiled to Ropsha Monastery, where she lived until her death in 1762. This portrait, a poignant reminder of her reign and legacy, continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and intriguing historical significance.
