EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the formidable Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, making a grand entrance into one of the captured ports in Crimea. The engraving by Baltazar G. from the 18th century beautifully captures this momentous event. Mounted on horseback, Catherine exudes power and grace as she rides through the fortified port city gates. Her presence is commanding, with an army guard of honor accompanying her every step of the way. As a female ruler in a male-dominated world, Catherine's equestrian prowess symbolizes her strength and determination. The image also highlights the significance of this conquest for Russia. With banners flying high and navy ships lining the Crimean River Volga, it is evident that this victory was not only strategic but also symbolic of Russian expansionism under Catherine's rule. The attention to detail in this engraving transports us back to a time when empires clashed and territories were won or lost at great cost. It serves as a reminder of Catherine's ambition and her role in shaping Russian history. Preserved by Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this historic portrait immortalizes an iconic figure who left an indelible mark on both Russia and Europe. Through its timeless beauty and historical significance, this artwork continues to captivate viewers today.
