Bidspirit Auktion | Catherine The great - Original

Catherine The great - Original artwork in acrylic on canvas signed by Chinwe Russell - Description : I created this painting during the winter months in my basement studio. It was so cold, and somehow, I imagined that It was made colder just because I was painting the long ago empress of Russia. During this period, my studio was renamed Russia.Catherine was a very powerful empress�from 1762 until 1796, the country's longest-ruling female leader. She famously came to power by getting rid of her husband in a coup which she masterminded. The foundations of the super power that is Russia today�began under her reign. This she did via massive militry campaigns and conquestion of far and near. The Russia of today exists because of the work she did. Who needs a weak king as a husband? Obviously not her.The pose of Chinwe Russell's Catherine the great was inspired by one of her favourite artists; Braitou Sala Year of creation : 2019 Shipping cost : Shipping Cost varies depending on destination.
