Fabergé eggs:
Memories of a
Doomed Dynasty
Peter Carl Fabergé
Easter is the happiest festival of the Orthodox faith in Russia ... After the service, families gather reverently, in order to exchange gifts of decorated eggs, symbols of life and new hope. Easter of 1885 also marks the 20th Anniversary of Tsar Alexander III and Empress Maria Fyodorovna, and Tsar has an extraordinary gift for his wife.
Alexander III and Maira
So, order a young jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé, whose beautiful creations recently attracted the attention of Mary.On Easter morning, Fabergé Palace offers what seems like a simple egg, enameled. But to the delight of the Empress, is in a golden yolk inside the egg yolk is a golden goose, and hid a miniature crown of diamonds and rubies in the hen a small egg - both to celebrate his wife's story is all you need lost to reward theCzarPeter Carl Faberge ECONOMIC COMMISSION with a Faberge Easter egg each year. The requirements are simple: each egg must be unique, and each must contain a suitable surprise for the Empress. With consummate skill and ingenuity, Fabergé Thein again raises the challenge, borrowing inspiration from the life of the gold in October 1894 Health Czar. He died suddenly in the prime of life, and his son, Nicholas II, reluctantly came to the throne. "My God, the Lord called our beloved father to him. Turning in my head. What will happen to me?
To Russia? I'm not ready for a czar. I never wanted to be." (From the letters of Nicholas II 20 October, 1894.) "So, to make sure I made no mistakes," says Lynette PROLER Author, "decided that the best way to keep him for all that your father had done."
Unskilled in the management of one-eighth of the world's population and isolated consciously progressive thinking of his parents, hugged Nicholas the ideals of the limit order, service and tradition: "I am the principle of maintaining autocracy in the same strength and determination, as my father unforgettable evening . "
Nicolas rigid adherence to the convention is deliberately established custom in the family court and the affairs of the state. "And, of course, Easter is a tradition started by his father, Nicolas, decided to continue," he added PROLER. Tsar Nicholas manages the annual fee of Faberge Egg more for his mother and adds a second to be delivered to his new wife, the Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna.
Conceived and executed as imaginative with the opulence, the work of Faberge jewelry amounted to a decorative art unmatched since the Renaissance. At the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900, the imperial eggs are shown to the public for the first time. He surprised the jury that the showers with honor and glory of Fabergé extends throughout Europe.
The novelty of combining artistic excellence with the functional value - and a touch of whimsy - that the imagination of the aristocracy as the Faberge workshops will be included with commissions, the transformation of a single jewelry store flooded in the famous "House of Faberge". But in spite of the aristocrats, barons, kings and queens as well as those who cross the threshold of his administration, the first duty is always Fabergé Czar.
Nicolas loves the pomp and ritual of the parade and imperial and requires only look good and speak little. But he showed little aptitude for power, reluctantly, on the main issues, the weak and contradictory, but it is strongly opposed to the necessary reforms and social policy. Be isolated over the years, the royal couple never in politics and intrigues of the court, my home life more comfortable seating and decisions less complicated. Sun Faberge made a point to learn something of the interests and achievements of the Romanov family to enjoy the configuration of the most memorable moments of their lives in the Easter gift and surprise.
Year after year, Faberge Imperial Easter eggs reach new heights of invention and extravagance, the expressions in miniature of the imperial life of privilege. In the opinion of the author and Fabergé expert Geza von Habsburg, "You are the absolute top of the machine. Are doing incredible. They were the best kind of Faberge, which was capable of, and gave everything he could with them." Ultimately, this Eggs painful memories of the tragic events of the story elements come.All Romanov so elegantly in the fifteenth anniversary of the Egg (1911), a family album to fulfill something more than two inches high. Paintings extremely detailed description of the highlights of the reign of Nicholas II, and each member of the family. "Not only is an amazing journey on the strength of the art of jewelry," Forbes, "but said probably more than any other egg that is most closely associated with the tragedy of Nicholas and Alexandra, and incredibly beautiful family. All kinds of prestigious events of her life -. to avoid these five children, and research for us there is not, fortunately, happen to them only a few years later "
In the first months of Russian participation in World War I, the latent discontent of the country's troubled by the patriotic unity in defense of the homeland is cooled. But dire economic conditions in Russia it is impossible for Nicolas to the war effort against the powerful, industrialized nations in Germany. In 1917, famine threatened the country. Riots and strikes for bread are common in Moscow and St. Petersburg. When the imperial troops to join the protesters, the government collapsed in the revolution. On 15 March and with the support of the people or the nobility Nicholas was forced to abdicate.
The next day a decree was passed ordering the arrest of Nicholas II and all other members of the Romanov family. The Tsar and his family finally to Siberia, where they live away in captivity for over a year. In the cold hours before dawn 17th July 1918 are Nicholas and Alexandra, their five children Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia and Alexei, crammed into a basement and executed.
Immediate family, only the mother of Nicolas, the Dowager Empress Maria Fyodorovna escapes the bullet of the assassin. How to make a hasty departure from his homeland, and with him the Order of St. George egg, the last imperial Faberge eggs will never be the son of Nicholas, Czar of All the Russias times.
Determination of the eggs
In the harsh light of hindsight, the Fabergé Imperial Easter eggs are otherwise regarded as frivolous indulgences of a decadent monarchy. But the revolutionary ideology that robs also fragile memories of the doomed Russian dynasty, each not only a work of art, but a remarkable reflection on the joys and successes of the same family support at the crossroads of history.
