EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite ivory medallion of Empress Catherine the Great, dating back to the late 18th century. Crafted by the talented Russian School of that era, this remarkable piece measures 13.3 cm in diameter and is currently held in a private collection. The medallion features a close-up view of Empress Catherine herself, depicted with great attention to detail and artistry. The use of ivory, velvet, and wood adds depth and texture to this historical artifact. Against a pristine white background, the male likeness of Catherine stands out prominently. As one explores this image further, it becomes evident that mythology plays a significant role in its composition. The profile view emphasizes her regal stature while hinting at her mythical qualities. This representation draws inspiration from Minerva, the Roman goddess associated with wisdom and strategic warfare. Empress Catherine II was known for her influential reign as well as her patronage of arts and culture during Russia's golden age. This medallion serves as a testament to her enduring legacy. With its rich history and intricate craftsmanship, this photograph offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the opulent world of Russian royalty during the late 18th century. It captures both the beauty of artistry and the allure of mythological symbolism within a single object—a true treasure from another time brought to life through photography.
