1729 1800 Alexander Suvorov Vasilyevich
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intense and focused gaze of Russian military commander, Alexander Vasilievich Suvorov (1729-1800), also known as Lienard, in the prime of his military career. Suvorov, a native of Riga in present-day Latvia, rose through the ranks of the Russian military to become one of its most celebrated commanders. He was known for his innovative military tactics, strategic brilliance, and unyielding determination. Born into a family of modest means, Suvorov joined the Russian army as a cadet in 1740. He quickly distinguished himself in battle, earning promotions and accolades for his bravery and leadership. Over the next several decades, he led Russian forces in victories against the Ottoman Empire, Poland, and Sweden. One of Suvorov's most notable achievements came during the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774, when he successfully led a daring campaign through the Carpathian Mountains to surprise and defeat the Ottoman forces. This victory earned him the moniker "The Savior of Russia" and cemented his reputation as a military genius. Despite his many successes, Suvorov's career was not without controversy. He was known for his harsh discipline and unorthodox methods, which sometimes put him at odds with his superiors. Nevertheless, he remained a respected and influential figure in Russian military history. This portrait, likely taken in the late 18th century, captures Suvorov in the height of his military prowess. His piercing gaze and stern expression convey a sense of determination and focus, reflecting the unwavering commitment that defined his military career. The portrait serves as a testament to Suvorov's legacy as one of Russia's greatest military commanders.
