This portrait print showcases Empress Elisabeth Petrovna, painted in 1760 by the talented artist Carle van Loo. As the second daughter of Peter the Great and Catherine I, Elizabeth of Russia ascended to power in 1741 after overthrowing infant Ivan VI. Her reign was marked by significant events such as Russia's involvement in the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years War. While she ruled, Empress Elisabeth Petrovna also embarked on ambitious architectural projects throughout St Petersburg, many of which were masterfully designed by her favorite architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli. This painting is now housed within the esteemed collection of the State Open-air Museum Peterhof in St Petersburg. The portrait captures Empress Elisabeth seated gracefully, exuding regality and elegance befitting a ruler. Dressed resplendently in a royal baroque gown with intricate detailing, she personifies both power and grace. The vibrant colors bring life to this depiction while highlighting her status as a prominent figure within Russian monarchy. Carle van Loo's artistic prowess shines through his skillful use of oil paints, capturing every delicate feature with meticulous precision. This piece serves as an exquisite representation not only of Empress Elisabeth herself but also reflects upon the opulence and grandeur associated with Russian royalty during this period.
