Painting Description
A Fine Enamel Miniature of a Nobleman Called Prince N. S. Volkonsky is an exquisite example of portrait miniature artistry by the Italian enamelist Pietro De Rossi. This delicate work of art depicts Prince Nikolai Sergeyevich Volkonsky, a Russian nobleman known for his military service and distinguished presence at the imperial court. The prince is portrayed with powdered curly hair and sideburns, a common fashion of the time, which emphasizes his noble status and adherence to contemporary styles.
The miniature showcases Prince Volkonsky in a dark blue uniform with a gold-embroidered high collar and a white stock, attire that reflects his military rank and the formal dress code of the Russian aristocracy. Notably, the prince is adorned with the badge of the Imperial Russian Order of St. George the Martyr and Vanquisher, indicating his valor and the recognition he received for his service. The Order of St. George was one of the most prestigious chivalric orders in the Russian Empire, awarded for military heroism.
Pietro De Rossi, the artist behind this work, was a skilled enamelist known for his detailed and lifelike miniatures. Enamel miniatures are a form of painting with vitreous enamel, which involves fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The durability and luminosity of enamel make it a choice medium for portrait miniatures that were meant to be kept as personal mementos or worn as jewelry.
This particular miniature is a testament to the technical prowess of De Rossi and the cultural significance of portrait miniatures as both personal keepsakes and status symbols during the 18th and 19th centuries. The artwork not only captures the likeness of Prince Volkonsky but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the fashion, military regalia, and aristocratic identity of the period.
