"Princess Tarakanova" is an oil painting by Russian artist Konstantin Dmitrievich Flavitsky, completed in 1864. The artwork is renowned for its dramatic representation of a historical figure, Princess Tarakanova, who was a pretender to the Russian throne during the reign of Catherine the Great. The painting is a romanticized portrayal of the princess's final moments, depicting her in a cell during the flooding of the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg in 1777.

The painting captures the emotional intensity of the scene, with the princess shown in a state of despair as water rushes into her prison cell. Flavitsky's use of light and shadow, along with the detailed rendering of the water and the princess's attire, contribute to the overall dramatic effect. The work reflects the mid-19th-century Romantic fascination with tragic historical figures and events, as well as the period's penchant for theatricality and emotion in art.

"Princess Tarakanova" is considered one of Flavitsky's masterpieces and is often cited as a significant example of Russian historical painting. The work is housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, where it remains an important part of the collection, attracting scholars and art enthusiasts interested in Russian art and history. The painting has been the subject of various interpretations, with some viewing it as a critique of autocracy and others seeing it as a reflection on the vulnerability of human life.

Konstantin Dmitrievich Flavitsky (1830–1866) was a prominent Russian artist associated with the Academic art movement. He studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg and was influenced by his contemporaries in the Russian art scene. "Princess Tarakanova" stands as a testament to his artistic skill and his engagement with the rich tapestry of Russian history.
