About this Item
Three old photographs of rich interiors à la russe. The arrangement is a mixture of Turkish and pseudo-russe style popular in the Russian Empire at the end of the 19th century. The numerous paintings on the walls are academic copies of Renaissance masterpieces, such as Madonna Magnificat by Botticelli and Madonna degli Alberetti by Bellini, made in St.Petersburg. In one of the pictures, one can recognize the portrait of Nicholas II, the last Russian Emperor (crowned in 1896). The stamp on the reverse indicates a place in Bulgaria that no longer exists: Musée de photographie/ G. Woltz & Cie/ Sofia, rue Leguè, No 10 . The interior belonged to the Russian legation that settled in Bulgaria in 1878. The photographer Georg Wolts was a prominent photographer of the Royal family, especially prince Ferdinand. Georg Wolts, was born in Greece in a Dutch family, graduated from Paris photo studio, and opened his first studio on the Legue str. in Sofia.
