Catherine II by Legislator – Fedot Shubin

Catherine II by Legislator Fedot Shubin

The statue represents an allegorical ceremonial portrait of Empress Catherine II. In the work of FI Shubin, her image occupies a significant place. The statue “Catherine II – Legislator” was created for the holiday organized by GA Potemkin in honor of the Empress in the Tauride Palace.

For the figure, a special rotunda was built in the Winter Garden. The white marble statue rose on the porphyry pedestal, drowning in greenery, gleaming in the flickering candles. In the guise of the empress, depicted in a diadem with a laurel wreath on her head, an orthodox chain on her chest, a royal scepter, solemn splendor is combined with the individual features of a particular person.

A loose chiton and an ermine robe do not hide the proportions of the figure of an aging woman. In the interpretation of the ceremonial appearance of the Empress, Shubin remained faithful to his credo – a realistic interpretation of the image. For this work in 1794 the sculptor was awarded the title of professor. Sofia Augusta Frederika Anhalt-Tserbskaya, German princess, Grand Duchess Ekaterina Alekseevna, since 1762 – Russian Empress Catherine II.
