1672 1731 Brooch Divorced Peter Eudoxia
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Eudoxia, the first wife of Peter the Great of Russia, adorned in a fur hat that epitomizes the opulence and grandeur of the Russian royalty during the late 17th century. Born in 1672, Eudoxia was the daughter of the Georgian King Teimuraz II and was brought to Russia as a bride for Peter in 1689. However, their marriage was short-lived, as they were divorced in approximately 1698. The fur hat worn by Eudoxia in this portrait is a striking representation of the luxurious furs that were highly valued in Russia during this time. The hat, made from the pelt of a sable or mink, is adorned with intricate beadwork and a magnificent collar, which is fastened with a large, ornate brooch. The collar is believed to be a gift from Peter the Great himself, symbolizing his power and wealth. Eudoxia's elegant attire, consisting of a richly embroidered robe and intricately designed shoes, further emphasizes her regal status. Her piercing gaze and confident posture convey a sense of strength and determination, which was not uncommon among the women of the Russian royal court. This portrait, which dates from the late 17th century, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the Russian royalty during a time of great change and transformation. Eudoxia's story is a fascinating chapter in Russian history, and this image serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions that have shaped the country's past.
