EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 17th-century engraving depicts Michael I (Mikhail Fyodorovich Romanov) (1596-1645), the first Tsar of Russia from the Romanov Dynasty, which ruled from 1613 until 1917. Born in Moscow, Michael ascended to the throne at the tender age of fifteen following the Time of Troubles, a period of political instability and foreign invasion. His election marked the end of the Rurik Dynasty and the beginning of a new era in Russian history. Michael I is depicted in this engraving with a full beard and a moustache, which were common features of the Russian Orthodox clergy and nobility during this period. The Tsar's regal attire, including a fur-trimmed robe and a golden crown, emphasizes his divine right to rule. The use of vibrant colors adds a modern touch to this historical image, making it a captivating representation of the Tsar's majesty and power. Michael I's reign was marked by significant achievements, including the establishment of a stable government, the restoration of the Russian Orthodox Church, and the implementation of important economic and military reforms. His rule laid the foundation for the development of the Russian state into a major European power. This engraving is a testament to the rich history of Russia and the enduring legacy of the Romanov Dynasty. It serves as a reminder of the pivotal role Michael I played in shaping the course of Russian history and the profound impact of his reign on the Russian people and the world.
