Eliz Empress Ermine Petrovna Reigned Sceptre Elizabeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Elizabeth Petrovna, the Empress of Russia from 1741 to 1762, dressed in regal attire adorned with ermine fur. Born in 1709 as Anna Ioannovna, Elizabeth was not the intended heir to the Russian throne. However, she seized the opportunity to seize power following the death of her nephew, Ivan VI, in a coup d'état. Elizabeth's reign marked a significant period in Russian history, known for its cultural and artistic flourishing. She was an advocate for Enlightenment ideas, promoting education and the arts. Elizabeth was also known for her love of fashion and luxury, as evidenced by her elaborate clothing and the ermine fur in this portrait. The scepter and orb in Elizabeth's hands symbolize her power and authority as the monarch of Russia. The orb represents the world, signifying her rule over all lands, while the scepter represents her power to rule and govern. The ermine fur, a symbol of royalty and purity, adds to the grandeur of the image. Elizabeth's reign was not without controversy, however. Her rule was marked by political instability, and she faced numerous rebellions and uprisings. Despite these challenges, Elizabeth remained popular with the Russian people, who admired her charisma and her efforts to modernize the country. This portrait of Elizabeth Petrovna, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Russian court during the 18th century. The image captures the essence of a monarch who ruled with style, grace, and determination.
