EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent painting "Allegory of Catherine the Great's Victory over the Turks and Tatars" by Stefano Torelli. Created in 1772, this masterpiece can be found in the esteemed collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. The artwork depicts a significant moment in history when Empress Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, achieved a remarkable victory over the Ottoman Empire during the Russo-Turkish War. The scene portrays a naval battle at Chesma Bay, where Russian forces led by Count Aleksey Orlov successfully destroyed the Turkish fleet. Torelli's skillful use of oil on canvas brings to life this allegorical representation of Catherine's triumph. The rococo style adds an element of elegance and sophistication to this historical event. Through mythology and literature references intertwined with Russian history, Torelli captures not only the military victory but also highlights Catherine's role as an autocrat and her significance within Russian monarchy. This artwork serves as a testament to Empress Catherine II's leadership and strategic prowess while commemorating Russia's success against its adversaries. It stands as a reminder of her contributions to both domestic affairs and international relations during her reign. This print is truly a fine art treasure that allows us to appreciate Torelli's talent while delving into an important chapter in world history.
