EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Michael Soutzo (Mihai Sutu), the esteemed Prince of Moldavia from 1819 to 1821. Engraved by Lemercier for the renowned book "Voyage a Athenes et Constantinople" written and illustrated by Dupre in 1828, this color lithograph captures the essence of a distinguished leader. The image depicts Prince Michael Soutzo seated with an air of regality, donning traditional Eastern European robes and a striking beard that adds to his commanding presence. His wife, an elegant princess dressed in exquisite traditional costume, stands beside him, symbolizing their shared influence and power. Hailing from the prominent Phanariot family of Soutzo, who provided several rulers (known as Hospodars) during the Ottoman Empire's reign over Moldavia, Prince Michael holds great significance in Romanian history. This portrait not only immortalizes his role as a ruler but also represents the aristocratic society he belonged to. Louis Dupre skillfully captures every intricate detail through his artistic interpretation, emphasizing both fashion and tradition within Romanian culture. The composition exudes sophistication and grandeur while offering viewers a glimpse into Romania's rich heritage. Preserved within the archives of Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this remarkable print serves as a testament to Prince Michael Soutzo's legacy and enduring impact on Moldavian history. Its historical value is further enhanced by its inclusion in eArchives Charm
