Russia - Royal Collection Trust

In the first publication to examine the relationship
between Britain and Russia through the lens of art in
the Royal Collection,
Russia: Art, Royalty and the
Romanovs
interweaves the familial, political, diplomatic
and artistic stories of the two countries and their royal
families over more than 400 years.

From initial contacts in the mid-sixteenth century,
through alliances, marriages and two World Wars, to
the current reign, this richly illustrated book gives
readers a glimpse into the public and personal dealings
of these two fascinating dynasties.

With new research on previously unpublished works,
including Imperial porcelain, arms, costume, insignia
and photographs, together with paintings by both
Russian artists and British artists working in Russia,
this will be the first time that the uniquely interlinked
narrative of the art connecting the two royal families
has been presented in a full-scale publication.
