EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment in history as it depicts the future Catherine I of Russia being taken prisoner in Marienburg and ceded to Princess Menshikov. The image, created by the European School in the 19th century, showcases the intricate details of their costumes and attire. The illustration is part of "Les Imperatrices France, Russie, Autriche, Bresil" by Adelaide Celliez and was published in Paris around 1860. It offers a glimpse into the life of Catherine I during her early years before she ascended to become one of Russia's most influential empresses. Catherine I, born Yekaterin Alekseyevna Romanova from the House of Romanov, is portrayed here with grace and poise despite her captivity. The lithograph also hints at the political dynamics between royalty during this era. The presence of Peter the Great is implied through references to his reign and influence on Catherine's life. This historical context adds depth to an already compelling composition. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back to a time when monarchies reigned supreme across Europe. It serves as a reminder that even within confinement or adversity, individuals like Catherine I can rise above their circumstances and leave an indelible mark on history.
