EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Alexander Lanskoy, the beloved aide de camp of Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great. Painted by Dmitri Grigorievich Levitsky in 1782, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of Lanskoy's importance and influence within the Russian palace. In the image, a young Lanskoy stands proudly before a sculpted bust of Empress Catherine II herself. Adorned with the insignia of two prestigious orders - the White Eagle Order at his hip and the Star of Saint Alexander Nevsky on his chest - he exudes an air of authority and distinction. Levitsky's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from capturing Lanskoy's piercing gaze to rendering intricate textures and colors throughout. The artist expertly portrays not only Lanskoy but also reflects upon Russia's opulent 18th-century court culture. Displayed in St. Petersburg's State Russian Museum, this portrait offers viewers a glimpse into an era defined by power struggles and grandeur. It serves as a testament to both Levitsky's artistic prowess and Lanskoy's significance as one of Catherine II’s most trusted confidants. This print allows us to appreciate not only its historical context but also its aesthetic beauty. With its vibrant colors and meticulous composition, it invites us to delve deeper into Russia’s rich cultural heritage while celebrating Levitsky’s skillful portrayal of this influential figure from centuries past.
