Created in 1777, the portrait is one of the most iconic representations of the Empress, showcasing her at the height of her power and influence. Roslin, known for his skill in capturing the elegance and sophistication of his subjects, was commissioned to paint this portrait during Catherine's reign, a period marked by significant cultural and political advancements in Russia.
The painting is a full-length portrait that presents Catherine II in an opulent setting, reflecting her status as a monarch and her patronage of the arts. She is dressed in regal attire, with the sumptuous fabrics and intricate details of her gown exemplifying the luxury associated with the Russian imperial court. The Empress is depicted with symbols of her sovereignty, such as the imperial regalia and the Order of St. Andrew, emphasizing her legitimacy and authority.
Alexander Roslin's "Portrait of Catherine II" is not only a testament to his artistic prowess but also an important historical document that offers insight into the self-image and propaganda of the Russian Empire under Catherine the Great. The portrait has been widely studied by art historians and is considered a significant work in the oeuvre of Roslin, as well as in the broader context of 18th-century European portraiture.
The painting is held in the collection of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, where it continues to attract attention for its artistic merit and as a symbol of Catherine the Great's enduring legacy. The "Portrait of Catherine II" remains a valuable piece of cultural heritage, reflecting the grandeur of the Russian Enlightenment and the complexities of its most famous ruler.
