EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Alexander II, the Tsar of Russia from 1855 to 1881. Known as "The Liberator" he is celebrated for his historic act of emancipating the serfs in 1861. The image beautifully captures the essence of this influential ruler, with vibrant colors and intricate details brought to life through a skillful wood engraving technique. Alexander II's reign marked a turning point in Russian history, as he sought to modernize and reform various aspects of society. His decision to free millions of serfs was a groundbreaking move towards social justice and equality. However, despite his progressive actions, tragedy struck when he was assassinated in St Petersburg. In this portrait, Alexander II exudes an air of regality and authority befitting his position as Tsar. The artist has masterfully captured his strong features and commanding presence, allowing viewers to glimpse into the world of Russian royalty during this transformative era. As we admire this remarkable piece from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are reminded not only of Alexander II's significant contributions but also of the delicate artistry that went into creating such a stunning color-printed wood engraving. This historical artifact serves as both a visual delight and a poignant reminder of one man's quest for freedom amidst turbulent times in Russia's past.
