Peter I
Moved by the spirit of the Enlightment, Tsar
Peter the Great led the Russian Empire out of its cultural
isolation into the centre of the great nations Europe. He
started the first Russian newspaper, founded the first state
museum of Russia, with a public library, and the Russian
Academy of SCience. This was built in the city named after
this great tsar-St. Petersburg
The fine gold work of the Patron of Art Edition
Peter I. th eGreat reflects the magnificent court of the
Russian tsar:surround by laurel wreaths, artistic yellow
gold-plated ornamentation encircles the dark green barrel
of Edition 4810. In edition 888 these patterns are made
of 750 white gold. The cap top of the pen is adorned with
precious emeralds, which glow in the same green as that
of the barrel. The two-headed eagle, amotif from the rich
iconography of the age of the tsars, is delicately engraved
into the 18-carat gold nib.
Catherine II
Tsarina Catherine's
ambition was to continue the work of Peter the Great. Indeed,
her commitment to the arts was impressive: she corresponded
with Voltaire, Diderot and d'Alembert, among others. She
is responsible for having the Hermitage- the famous winter
palace erected in St. Petersburg, and it is thanks to her
love of painting that the royal art collection grew from
a few dozen paintings to more than 4,000.
The splendidly ornamented
Patron of Art Edition Catherine II. the Great commemorates
the great era of the Russian Empire. Rose gold plated ornamentation
featuring blossom wreath motifs adorns the aubergine-colored
barrel of Edition 4810. In Edition 888 this ornamentation
is in 750 red gold. Precious rubies decorate the cap top
of this edition, while both editions have the 18 carat gold
nib, into which the symbol of the Russian monarcy--the two-headed
eagle--is engraved.
