Portret van Alexander I van Rusland 1806 - 1814

This print, created between 1806 and 1814 by Martinus van Looyen, depicts Alexander I of Russia. Van Looyen was born in 1784, and his work often focused on portraits. The artwork showcases Alexander I, who ruled Russia from 1801 to 1825, in military attire, emphasizing his role as the leader of a powerful nation. The print's oval frame suggests a formal portrait style, common for depictions of royalty and prominent figures during the period. The use of shading and detail in the engraving adds to the realism and historical significance of the piece. Alexander I, known for his role in the Napoleonic Wars, is captured here in a moment of authority, a testament to his power and position.
