1872 1894 Aleksandra Alexandra Alice Empress Fyodorovna Hesse Nicolas Oval Tsar


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Alexandra Fyodorovna, Empress of Russia and wife of Tsar Nicholas II, in an intimate moment during the late 19th century. The image, taken in 1894, shows Alexandra, formerly Princess Alice of Hesse and by Rhine, wrapped in a luxurious fur shawl, gazing introspectively into the distance. Born in 1872 in Darmstadt, Germany, Alexandra was the eldest daughter of Grand Duke Ludwig IV of Hesse and Princess Alice of the United Kingdom. Her marriage to Tsar Nicholas II in 1894 united the Russian and German royal families, a union that would ultimately have fateful consequences for both nations. The photograph captures Alexandra in her prime, with her striking features, piercing gaze, and elegant posture. Her regal bearing and air of refinement were a source of pride for the Russian people, who saw her as a symbol of the harmony between the Russian and German royal houses. However, the tranquility of this moment belies the tumultuous events that would unfold in the years to come. The first decade of the 20th century saw Russia undergo significant political and social upheaval, culminating in the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the eventual abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and his family. Alexandra and her family were imprisoned and eventually executed in 1918. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when the Russian and German royal families were united in marriage and the world was on the cusp of momentous change. The image captures the essence of a woman who was both a queen and a princess, a symbol of power and a reminder of the fragility of the monarchy in the face of history.
