EDITORS COMMENTS
Peter I Alexeievitch, also known as Peter the Great, was a pivotal figure in Russian history, serving as the Tsar of Russia from 1682 to 1725. Born in 1672, Peter was the second son of Tsar Alexis I of the House of Romanov. This engraving, colored in the nineteenth century, showcases Peter in his regal attire, adorned with the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called and a grand moustache, a distinctive feature of his mature years. Peter's reign marked the end of the Old Russian period and the beginning of the modern Russian state. He led Russia through a series of significant reforms, modernizing the military, the legal system, and the economy. Peter's ambition extended beyond Russia's borders, leading him to expand the Russian Empire through several wars, including the Great Northern War, which resulted in the acquisition of the Baltic provinces. This engraving serves as a testament to Peter's legacy as an autocrat and emperor. The image of Peter, with his steely gaze and strong posture, conveys the power and determination that defined his rule. The rich colors of the engraving bring the portrait to life, making it a captivating addition to any collection of historical art or Russian history. As the founder of the Russian Navy and the first Russian emperor to be crowned in Moscow, Peter I Alexeievitch left an indelible mark on Russia and its people. His influence can still be felt in the Russian Federation today, making this engraving a valuable and intriguing piece for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the rich history of Russia and its dynasties.
