EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Coat of Arms of Prince Grigory Alexandrovich Potemkin, a prominent figure in Russian history. Created by the talented artists of the 18th-century Russian School, this artwork is part of a remarkable twenty-volume heraldic collection commissioned by Tsar Paul I. The coat of arms features an impressive double-headed eagle, symbolizing power and strength. The bearers proudly hold up the device adorned with a regal crown, representing royalty and authority. A cloak drapes elegantly over the shield, adding an air of grandeur to this emblematic design. Prince Potemkin himself was not only known for his military prowess as a soldier but also for his influential role as a statesman during Catherine II's reign. His love affair with Catherine II further adds intrigue to his story. Archived in St. Petersburg's Archives des Tsars, this historic piece is one among 3,500 coats of arms meticulously documented in this comprehensive collection. Painted using watercolors and gouache on paper embellished with gold accents, it exudes opulence and sophistication. As we admire this extraordinary work from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness the legacy left behind by Prince Grigory Alexandrovich Potemkin – a man whose coat of arms reflects both his noble lineage and significant contributions to Russian history.
