Catherine the Great
1729 – 1796 · Empress of Russia
You work only on paper, which endures everything… whereas I, poor empress, work on human skin, which is far more irritable and ticklish.
Who she was
Born a German princess, Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst, she took the name Catherine and married the heir to the Russian throne. In 1762, months after her husband became Peter III, she overthrew him with the help of the guards and ruled alone for 34 years.
She wrote to Voltaire and Diderot, collected the art that began the Hermitage, and pushed Russia’s borders to the Black Sea and deep into Poland. She died in 1796.
