EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in history - Catherine the Great's visit to the Ice Mountain in Saint Petersburg, 1788. The artist, Paterssen, skillfully brings this scene to life with his exquisite use of watercolor and gouache on paper. In this winter wonderland setting, we witness the grandeur of the Russian Empress as she indulges in the festivities of the season. Surrounded by snow-covered landscapes and frozen waters of Neva River, Catherine II embraces the joyous atmosphere of carnival celebrations. The image showcases an array of winter sports activities that were popular during that era. From sleigh rides to tobogganing down ice mountains, it is evident that amusement was at its peak during this time. The presence of a roller coaster adds an element of thrill and excitement to this already vibrant scene. Catherine II's love for her people is palpable through her participation in these festivities. As she mingles with her subjects and partakes in traditional customs like Mardi Gras and Shrove Tuesday, she solidifies her place as a beloved ruler. This fine art piece not only serves as a visual delight but also provides us with insights into Russian culture during Catherine's reign. It beautifully encapsulates the essence of classicism while showcasing genre scenes from daily life. Preserved within a private collection today, this photograph print allows us to relish in the splendor and magnificence that once graced Saint Petersburg under Catherine the Great's rule.
