Portraits of famous women of the 19th century. Mix beautiful women in Russian history
The first one of the most beautiful women of Russia today, though not Russian by birth, but undoubtedly one of those who amounted to the glory of Russia.
Nina Alexandavna Griboyedova, Georgian Princess Chavchavadze - "Black Rose Tiflis".
Born and grew in Cinanal, where the estate of Prince Chavchavadze was located - Dadiani. Already in early youth, Nino was distinguished by beauty and an article inherent in Georgians. Griboedov, who served in 1822 in Tiflis, often visited the House of Prince and even gave his daughters of music lessons. Once a joke, "Uncle Sandro", as called His Nina, told his little student: "If you and then try so, I get married to you." But when he visited this house again after 6 years, after returning from Persia, he was no joke - he was amazed by the beauty of grew up Nina and its intelligence.
Princess Nino Chavchavadze
:
In her unrequited for 30 years, Gregory Orbeliani Gregory, but she did not get married a second time, rejecting all offers and courtships.
In vain, the grooms are rushing here from different places.
Many in Georgia brides, and I do not have a draw of my wife!
Perhaps these words of Tamara from the poem "Demon" inspired Lermontov image of Nina. And the "Reluler Synodla" (Cinanal) -Griboyedov. In any case, her love and loyalty to the tragically dead husband became legendary in her life; Nina Chavchavadze name was surrounded by honorable and respect, it was called the black rose Tiflis. But she did not keep out people, on the contrary, they stretched to her, she helped many.
There are several picturesque and verbal portraits of Nina. And those and others convey a captivating and decent admiration image. Here, for example, some Sinyavin undoubtedly loved in her, exclaims: "No, there can be no such perfection in the world: beauty, heart, feelings, inexplicable kindness! How smartly! I'm afraid, no one will compare with it. " General Albranta writes to his friend-Tiflests: "Nina's smile Aleksandrovna is so good - as a blessing! When meeting, tell me that I worship her like Moometanians - the Sun ascending! ". But the evidence of contemporaries: "One of the most charming creatures is a handsome, with a rare mind. Everyone converge on the fact that it is an ideal woman. "
Of course, she suffered from loneliness, from the absence of children. He blew his relative to give her a newborn daughter to her upbringing: "You are surrounded by children, and I am completely alone!".
Her pupil of Catherine later recalled that aunt Nina left daily, where - the girl learned when he had grown a little, and she began to take her with her, on her husband's grave.
Nina Alexandrovna Griboyedova, nee Princess Chavchavadze, died in June 1857, at the age of forty nine incomplete years, during the epidemic cholera, which came to Tiflis from Persia. She refused to leave the city as most of the rich families. "In the city there are only two physicians and the community of sisters of mercy at the Russian hospital. I will not be superfluous. " She was the last words: "Me ... next to him."
..T, in the dark grotto - Mausoleum,
And - the modest gift of widow -
The lamp shines in the semit
To read you
That inscription and so that you
Reminded herself -
Two grief: grief from love
And grief from the mind.
Jacob Polonsky.
Varvara Asenkova - since 1836 Actress of the Alexandrinsky Theater. The first appearance on the stage of Alexandrinsky brought her triumph. Assenkova, there was not only talented, but also very elegant, charming and feminine. Basically played in watervilles, her "Hussar-Maiden" was specially famous. Nevertheless, soon she was not less successful in the dramatic images of Ophelia, Esmeralda, for 6 years of staying on stage. Having reynt a huge number of roles.
Varvara Asenkova 
She admired Belinsky and Nashchkin, the young writer of Nekrasov dedicated her the poems of "Ophelia" and "Memory Asenkova".
... little I saw
Beautiful heads;
Your voice gently sounded,
Your every step was deft;
Your soul was gentle
Beautiful, like the body,
Slander did not bring it
The enemies did not overcome!
.. Your sunset
Was strange and beautiful:
Burned down a deep view
Shrill and clear;
Weak health, envy and gossip provoked its disease with a charchotka and early death. At the funeral, she had such a huge number of people that they were compared with Pushkin's funeral. In Soviet times about the short and tragic life of Asenkova, a wonderful film "Green Care" was shot
Yulia Samoilova (nebid countess Palen) is a beloved woman and muse Karl Bryullov, his "Italian Sun".
Young Julink Palen. 
Her beautiful person can be seen in many of his paintings, for example, on the "portrait of Yulia Samoilova with the adopted daughter Jovanina and Arapchonk" 
And at an even more well-known "portrait of the Countess Samoilova, which removes from the Ball with the adopted daughter Amacyilia," and in the "death of Pompeii", its features are granted to several female images. Julia on the mother line took place from the genus of Skatenna (yes, the most relatives of Catherine 1 - Martha Skavron). This woman basically lived in Italy and herself looked like a luxurious sultry Italian. Countess was different not only by southern beauty, but also an independent free character. 
The "last of the kind of Sakavronsky" constantly angry the sovereign by the fact that the entire fashionable and exquisite light went out not in the royal village, to the summer imperial court, but for a few miles from him, in a large estate of the Count Slav (near St. Petersburg). The emperor suggested to sell it to the "royal treasury" the Count Slavs together with a luxurious home built on the project of the famous St. Petersburg architect and the artist - Alexander Bryullov. The Countess obeyed the imperial proposal, similar to the order, but said to someone from the high dignitaries, in the royal rest: "Pass the emperor that they did not go to the Count Slav, and to the Samoilova Countess."
She had two absolutely adorable adoptive daughters, whom I have already mentioned, and we can also admire the portrait of Jovanin on the famous Bullyl Picture of "Horseman" (by the way Amacilia there, too, is a little girl on the balcony).
Yulia Petrovna Vrevskaya - Baroness, folk heroine of Russia and Bulgaria. After the death of her husband, he devoted himself to serving the Fatherland and the case of the liberation of Bulgaria from Turkish Iga, becoming the sister of mercy in the period Russian-Turkish war. At the same time there was a wonderful beauty woman. According to the reviews of contemporaries "Yulia Petrovna is distinguished by some special charm, something sublime, which is especially attracted and is not forgotten, it is charming not only appearance, feminine grace, but also incessant kindness and friendly." Portrait of Baroness Julia Vrowskaya 
It died quite young from the typhoid, at the end of the war, in the fronthouse hospital, in the Bulgarian village of Biala. It was friendly with V. Hugo and especially with I. Turgenev, who immeasieled it and admired. Interestingly, Turgenev, as it were, premeditated the legendary Vrevskaya fate, predicted a lot of Yulia Petrovna in the novel "On the eve", and after a quarter of a century, the history of Elena Stakhova and Dmitry Insarov repeats. About the life of the Vrevskaya, her feat, or as they previously talked Mobility, her love and death was written by the Tale of the Bulgarian Writer G. Karashovanova "loyalty for loyalty" "Her friendship with Bulgarian Stefan Grozkov played a particularly large role in her life, in which the filamental desire to make something significant to liberate his homeland, enslaved by the Turks . The hot patriotic feeling of her friend touched her tender heart. Without seeing Bulgaria, she fell in love with her "- writes Kasosetov. Yulia Petrovna Vrevskoy dedicated their poems Y. Polonsky - "Under the Red Cross", V. Hugo - "Russian Rose, who died in Bulgarian Earth", I. Turgenev "Memory of Julia Vyravskaya", in 1977 was lifted by the Russian-Bulgarian film "Julia Werevskaya "with Lyudmila Savelyeva in the title role.
... what are titles and zvenya
Compared with the soul of Big? ..
You wanted freedom to brothers,
You wanted to Bulgarians of happiness ...
You died away from Russian rivers,
To become a legend proud through the years.
And the last snow circled outside the window
To make a spring of freedom ...
Bulgarian poet Elia Ganchev - "Julia Vrevskoy"
Sister Merciful Yu.P. Werevskaya. 
"On the mud, on the smelting raw straw, under a venue of the dilapidated shed, on the ambulance hand turned into a marching military gospital, in a ruined Bulgarian village - she died from Typha.
She was in infamousity - and no doctor even looked at her; Sick soldiers, for whom she cared, could still stay on his legs, alternately climbed from their infected lair to bring her lips a few drops of water in the shard pot of a broken pot.
She was young, beautiful; The highest light knew her; Even dignitaries were aware of it. The ladies envied her, the men were dragging behind her ... two or three people secretly loved her. Life smiled her; But there are smiles worse tears.
Gentle gentle heart ... and such force, such a thirst for the victim! Help those who need help ... She did not know other happiness ... did not know - and did not have ever denied. Every other happiness passed by. But she came up with this for a long time - and all, dusting with the fire of the restless faith, surrendered to the minion.
What cherished treasies were conceited there, in the depths of the soul, in her very cache, no one ever knew - and now, of course, will not know.
And why? The victim is brought ... The case is done.
Let her cute shadow be offended by this late flower, which I dared to lay on her grave! ... ". I. Turgenev "Memory of Yu. P. Vyrevskaya"
Varvara Rimskaya - Korsakov, (in Mergasov's greatness) - her portrait still admires visitors to the Paris Museum of OBCE. 
At one time, the original beauty of this "Tatar Venus", as she was called in Paris (and she really is a native of the Volga coast, from the Kostroma province) produced a furyor in France. The masquerand of Varvara loved to appear in exotic, even defiantly frank outfits: the priestess tanitis, whose costume consisted of a light gas cape that does not hide the outlines of a magnificent figure, then the dicarks in fluttering ribbons and scraps of fabric, allowing to see those present "the most beautiful legs in Europe" . Her behavior was more than boldly even for France and caused some discontent of the queen Evgeny Montiho. Lion Tolstoy mentioned it in the novel "Anna Karenina", under the name of Lydi Korsunskaya, for example, in the scene on the ball: "There was not the impossibility of a naked beauty Lydi, the wife of Korsunsky." Thinking Corsakov only with a rapid fashionable "secular lioness" were quite surprised by the release of the book written by her, even the epigraph of which was distant from the frivolity "deprivation and sorrow, I specified God, and happiness made him know it."
On the Internet, Varvaru is sometimes issued for the wife of the Composer of Rome-Korsakov, but in more serious sources of its relative or other connection with the author of the famous opera, I did not find anything in except for the surname. Her husband Nikolai Korsakov was first the leader of the Vyazemsky nobility, then the military, participated in Sevastopol battle and was awarded the St. George Cross.
Women of the genus Yusupov were famous for not only wealth and knowledge, but also by their beauty. In my list of them are three. The most famous Zinaida Nikolaevna Yusupova - and as one of the most beautiful and charming women of their time (and the richest), and as the mother of Felix Yusupov - the main acting person in the murder of Rasputin. Many portraits of Z.N. have been preserved. Yusupova, the most famous written by V. Serovy. On him, the princess has been about 40 years old, but it is still unfortunately good.
Sometimes it is confused with another Zinaida Yusupova - her grandmother - Zinaida Ivanovna, also beautiful and difficult fate and character of a woman.
Zinaida Ivanovna Yusupova (nee Naryshkin)
There was an old belief about the curse of the genus yuspot. The ancestors of their - the sons of Tatarry Murza Yusuf, during the times of the Golden Horde, were crossed in Orthodoxy and were cursed for versoity. According to a curse, from all those born in one generation of Yusupovy to twenty-six years there will be only one, and it will continue up to the complete retrieval of the genus. It came true strictly. No matter how many children do not bother - up to twenty-six lived only one.
Zinaida Ivanovna married Boris Nikolayevich Yusupov was still a very young girl, her son bore him, then a daughter who deceased with childbirth and only after that he learned about the family curse. Being a woman is judicious, she said her husband that "give birth to the dead" is not going to continue. The beauty had a lot of fans in the highest light, and even went rumors that the emperor himself was not indifferent to it. In any case, on the Fond General Clotte of the Chernetska artist, made by order of Nicholas 1, where the most famous people of the empire and the most famous beauties, Zinaida Ivanovna are present.
Zinaide Ivanovna was no forty, when the old prince died and the princess became what was called "living for himself." The legends went about her dizzying novels, but the most famous scandalous history of her hobbies with young people was known. When it was sharpened in the Shlisselburg fortress, the princess refused the secular fun, followed him, settled in front of the fortress and bribes achieved that he was released at night.
This story was well known, she was shuffled about her, but oddly enough Zinaida Ivanovna did not condemn, recognizing the right of a beautiful princess on madness when this story ended, for some time she lived by a climate on the foundry, then, coming out married a ruined, but the tricky Frenchman He left Russia, refused the title of Princess Yusupova and became referred to as the Countess of De Shvo, the Marquis de Serr.
On history with young people, Yusupov recalled after the revolution. One of the emigrant newspapers printed a message that trying to find Yusupov's treasures, the Bolsheviks discovered a secret room in the palace on the casting avenue. But they found no jewelry there, and the coffin with a harnessed man. Most likely, this was the one sentenced to death, the peopling, whose body Yusupova bought and transported to St. Petersburg. However, in the family Zinaida Ivanovna read happy. All her husbands died in old age, her daughter lost during childbirth, when it did not have time to get used to her, I loved a lot, I did not refuse yourself and died surrounded by my relatives.
Zinaida Nikolaevna Yusupova was born in 1861 in the family of Prince N. B. Yusupova, the last representative of the oldest kind. The owner of factories, mines, profitable houses and places were unheard of rich. Zinaida Nikolaevna remained the only heir to the genus (sister Tatiana at the age of 22 died from Tifa). The daughter inherited from the Father not only wealth, but also the best character traits. Smart, educated, she was one of the first beauties of St. Petersburg, at 18 years old Princess already engaged in active charity: she became a guardian of the shelter of soldiers' widows. And a little later, dozens of shelters, hospitals, gymnasiums of St. Petersburg got under her patronage, she helped the families of Chernogorstsev who were victims in the fight against the Turks, and trains and lazarets were equipped with the first world war on her funds for her funds for the wounded, including In her estates.
A rich bride was claimed by the most notable grooms, including the August Officials, but the princess was waiting for real love. She has already been 20 years old, there was no penal from the cavaliers, the old prince sent the daughter of the prince for the prince, but everyone received a refusal. Once, to respect the Father, Princess agreed to meet with another cavalier - Prince Battenberg, the applicant for the Bulgarian throne. He was accompanied by officer Felix Elston-Sumarokov. As a result, Battenberg was denied - Princess Yusupov fell in love with first glance in the Guards Lieutenant and the next day he accepted his proposal of his hand and heart. Wedding Princess Zinaida Yusupova and Felix Elston-Sumarow took place in the spring of 1882 and for a long time became the main news of St. Petersburg: the first beauty with such dowry went under a crown with a simple Guards officer? However, Felix was the grandson of the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. The old prince of Yusupov go against her desires did not. A year later, the young people were born - Nikolai, called so in honor of his grandfather, the old curse of the family turned with two sons of Zinaida Nikolaevna: the middle died by a child, and Nikolai in 1908 was killed for duels, without having lived until his twenty-sest of only six months. Junior - Felix remained the only heir.
"Mother was delightful. High, thin, elegant, smoothed and black, with shiny, like stars, eyes. Smart, educated, artist, good. Nobody could resist her charm. But she was not honored with his diving, and there was simplicity itself and modesty "- this description gave Zinaida Nikolaevna her son Felix. You can imagine how beautiful it was in the greatness. The princess is not blunt and not poured, grabbed her natural beauty. . From all the cosmetics used only home cooking lotion. And with all the modesty of the behavior, the first fashionista of St. Petersburg was considered: her outfits were driving everything crazy, and in the collection of jewels, the Moji star, the Queen of Mary Antoinettes, Pearl and Diamond Diadem Carolina - Queen Neapolinsky. One hollow-glass Spanish guest visited the reception of Yusupova and recalled: "Princess was a very beautiful woman, she possessed such a wonderful beauty that remains a symbol of the era. At the reception, the hostess of the house was in Kokoshnik, decorated with giant pearls and diamonds ... they did her like on empress "

The favorite jury of Yusupova was a unique pearl of Pelegrin .. This pearl can be seen in the portrait of Zinaida Nikolaevna Brush Fleming. Then, in a distant emigration, her son Felix will sell Pelegrin, and the trace of the mascot of a beautiful woman will lose.

About the mercy of Princess Yusupova went legends. Certificates of those who were treated in her hospitals were preserved that officers here were invited to lunch and evening tea, that guests sat at the beautiful table and were casual conversations that the princess knew about the state of all seriously ill and was very heart.
Zinaida Nikolaevna died away from Russia, in emigration, in 1939 and buried in the Cemetery of St. Geneviev de Boua under Paris.
Irina Yusupova, daughter-in-law Z.N. Yusupova, the wife of her son, the Felix itself, will be presented in a post dedicated to the beauties of the beginning of the 20th century.
I love you, beauties centuries,
For your careless doors,
For the right to live, breathing inflorescence
And throwing the death of the animals on the shoulders.
………………………………………………………………
I love when, stepping like flying,
Purge, laughing and ledge.
The essence of femininity is always golden
All those who poet, sacred candle.

Vladimir Ivanovich Gau was born on February 4, 1816 in the roar. Watercolor artist Vladimir Gau left us an excellent gallery of portraits of your era. His works are in many museums and are the subject of pride of collectors. The artist portrait genre, Gau wrote many portraits of the royal family - Emperor Nikolai I, the Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich and hundreds of portraits of Russian nobility.
Vladimir Ivanovich Gau was born in the family of the artist. Johann Gau did not receive art education, he became a self-taught artist and became famous for his time as a landscape artist and decorator. He taught it and sons.
Vladimir Eduard Gau's older brother is known as a perspective artist. His paintings are numerous images of Palaces of St. Petersburg and his suburbs, the Grand Kremlin Palace and his halls. In 1854, Eduard Gau became an academician "for the art and knowledge in picturesque promising watercolor art."
And the little Voldemar since childhood also drew. But unlike the father and brother, the image of a person's face attracted him. Not directly the father agreed with this propensity of the future of the court painter. After all, to be an artist-portraitist - it meant to listen to other people's comments, find the strength to draw as the capricious customer requires, and also be able to flatter him.
Therefore, first the father gives his son to learn from Academician Karl von Kügelchen. The old artist lived near Revel, in the manor Friedheim. With patience and zeal, he spent at the work of a young artist, and Kügelkin saw and appreciated the gift of Portretist, and therefore managed to convince Johann not to resist the desires of the Son.
Soon, with the assistance of Kyuhelchen Voldemar Gau, at the end of the 1820s began to receive orders for portraits, which turned out so much that a young artist hardly managed to fulfill.
Being a portrait artist is not easy, but very honorable. Indeed, in those distant times to maintain their image in his youth or in a mature age, for themselves or for memory closest, I wanted many. Therefore, everyone treated artists who knew portraits with great respect.
Then, yes, and now, about big artists say that he writes a portrait, it is written, and does not draw. Hence the word - painter. Here is a painter who would be able to convey the image and soul of man, waldemar Gau.
In 1832, the tsarist family arrived on the sea bathing. By this moment, many knew about the young artist here. Therefore, it is not surprising that the rumor about him has reached the imperial family. Empress Alexander Fodorovna wished the artist wrote portraits of her children. When portraits were ready, the Empress immediately realized that in front of her a real artist.
Alexander Fodorovna took him under his patronage, and in 1832 GAU was enrolled by a volunimizing student at the Imperial Academy of Arts, and "at the expense of a high patron". In 1835, V. Gau was invited to the royal village, where they were written by portraits of the great princes Alexander, Konstantin, Nikolai, Mikhail and the Grand Duzhon Mary, Olga and Alexandra.
In 1836, Gau writes the portrait of Alexandra Fedorovna, who becomes one of the well-known and best portraits of the Empress. Alexander Födorovna is depicted in the living room "Cottage" in Alexandria. Calm, a little tired face, the empress - she seemed to think, looking in front of him. Proud of straight posture, noble appearance ...
In 1836, Vladimir Gau finished the Academy of Arts with a Big Silver Medal. Soon he went abroad for further improving his skill. In Russia, the famous artists who admired Russian to know, but to learn how to learn in Europe.
GAU visited Italy, in Germany. Here he met the works of Italian and German painters. Watercolor portrait genre in Europe was more common, and a small size. Such were the needs of society. With each European yard worked watercolor artists. Written portraits were often replicated by a lithographic way.
Returning to Russia, Vladimir Gau became a court painter. In 1849 he was assigned the honorary title of academician watercolor painting. Get a portrait of Vladimir Gau's brush, dreamed of many secular beauties. Among his models there were almost all members of the Imperial House.
He wrote portraits of the royal family and Russian nobility performed in the interior or in the landscape, portraits of the actress of the Imperial Theater: "Singers and the East of Beauty" A.M. Stepanova, Dramatic Actress V.N. Asenkova, Dancer V.P. Wolve, actress M.I. Shovel. Unfortunately, not all portraits we can see today, we can only have ideas about surviving lithographs.
Most portraits of V. Gau are the Russian aristocracy of the XIX century, and therefore in each of the elements of aristocracy in the external manifestation. This is a clear calm face, a straight posture, a turn of head, clothes - all this moves from a portrait to a portrait.
Female portraits, poetic, penetrating and expressive are especially beautiful. They feel the virtuoso possession of the technique, the ability to catch the characteristic features of the model. Portraits of St. Petersburg beauties provided the artist success in the world.
Look at any portrait of V. Gau - delicate Miloids of women, surrounded by the magical radiance of watercolors, nobility and dignity, a pensive or dreamy look, languid expression ...
Images of the Countess of Emilia Musina-Pushkin, Knyagini A.A. Golitsyna, N.N. Pushkin, M.V. Stolypina, one of the "fashionable women of forties", portrait O.N. Skobeel, mother of an outstanding Russian commander of General MD. Skobelev, Portrait of Anna Alekseevna Olenina, which A.S. Pushkin dedicated his verses explaining in love. "I loved you ..." Or
"But, admit, whether
My eyes are my eyes!
What a thoughtful genius in them,
And how many children's simplicity,
And how many languid expressions,
And how many bald and dreams! ... "
In 1842, Gau married Louise-Matilde-theodore Zanfteleben, the daughter of the St. Petersburg tailor. The artist's family had three sons and six daughters. In the meeting of the Russian Museum, small pencil sketches and watercolors, transferred by his grandson Magnus Viktorovich Ginz, tell us about the events of his family life.
A part of the family portraits of GAU are located in Russia, and part abroad. In the meeting of the Yaroslavsky Art Museum there are portraits of his eldest son of Garald in infancy and three daughters - Mary, Olga and Eugene.
Vladimir Gau - Artist of the Epoch of 1840 - 1860s. In his portraits, the reflection of the atmosphere of those years. Already, no one decade, the brush of the artist Vladimir Gau tells us the history of the life of people who lived many years ago, thanks to him, we can come into contact with the past not only well-known people, but also with the history of the country. The bright example can be portraits of the Great Princess Elena Pavlovna.
Elena Pavlovna, gifted by a subtle artistic taste, posed the artist herself and appreciated his talent. Elena Pavlovna, known for active activities for the benefit of Russia, hit everyone with his mind, a strong character.
Poet V.F. Odoevsky wrote about her: "It was all interested, she knew everyone, he understood everything, he sympathized with everything. She always studied anything. " Elena Pavlovna, being married with Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich, knew how to be useful in state affairs and the emperor himself.
When the widowed Empress of Maria Fodorovna died, according to her will, Helen Pavlovna passed the management of Mariinsky and obequious institutions. Maria Födorovna knew that he had passed them into rugged hands. And indeed, since that time, all the problems of medicine were always in sight of Elena Pavlovna.
This woman seemed to have everything that was needed for happiness. But it only seemed. The Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich was a completely different person, and the beauty and grace of his wife, who admired poets, did not worry him. She buried daughters - alone in infancy, and the other two - Maria and Elizabeth died at a young age.
After that, Elena Pavlovna completely devoted himself to public and charitable activities. It was she who created the first military community of the sisters of mercy during the Crimean War. Great Princess for its activities and merits in the liberation of peasants from serfdom in society called "Princesse La Liberty - Princess Freedom", and Emperor Alexander II awarded Elena Pavlovna Gold Medal "Reform Worker".
Among the hundreds of portraits written by V. Gau's brush, like every artist, there are excellent works, and there are less successful. In many of his portraits, there is no so-hearth heat, heartiness and trust, which is felt very often between the artist and his model.
In his portraits, some restraint is felt, and somewhere coldness, but it is also explained. The circle of its models, and rather portrayed, is an imperial family, Russian to know.
Unless he could feel the creative mood, silent communication and understanding, which could be between the artist and the model, so necessary to fulfill the difficult task of creativity. In addition, the court artist should be ready for the unconditional fulfillment of any wishes of the customer, as he warned his father.
In portraits depicting people close to the artist, interest in man, to his inner world completely different. In the period of the 1860-1890s, the work of V.I.Gau becomes single. At this time, the watercolor portrait was supplanted by a developing photo.
Vladimir Gau - the court artist of the Imperial House died on March 11, 1895, was buried at the Smolensk Lutheran Cemetery of St. Petersburg. His wife Louise Gau is resting here.
At the beginning of the XIX century in the Empir Empire in fashion, naturalness and simplicity. Even the cosmetic effect of the lady tried to achieve natural ways: if the pallor was required - the vinegar drank, if the blush was a storm. For a while, even jewelry leaves fashion. It is believed that the more beautiful woman, the less she needs decorations ...
Whiteness and tenderness of hands during an ampyr is so appreciated that even the gloves worn over the night.
In the outfits noticeably imitating antique clothing. Since these dresses were made mainly from thin translucent Muslin, fashionista risked to catch colds in particularly cold days.

To create spectacular drapes, beautifully outliving natural data, the ladies used a simple intake of antique sculptors - moistened to clothing, it is no coincidence that the mortality from pneumonia was very high in those years.
The French "Journal de Mod" in 1802 even recommended to visit the Montmart Cemetery to his readers to see how many young girls became a victim of "Nagya" fashion.

Paris newspapers were shot by mourning chronicles: "Mrs. de Noel died after the Bala, at the nineteen years, Mademoiselle de Jujinis - at eighteen, Mr Shaptal - at sixteen!" For several years of the domination of this extravagant fashion, women died more than those preceding 40 years.
Terezia Talien was considered "more beautiful Capitol Venus," she was so ideal. She introduced a "naked" fashion. The easiest dress weighed 200 grams!
Only thanks to the Egyptian campaign of Napoleon, Cashmere Shawli entered the fashion, which widely popularized the spouse of the emperor - Josephine.
In the 20s of the XIX century, the figure of a woman resembles an hourglass: rounded "swollen" sleeves, an aspen waist, a wide skirt. The corset entered the fashion. The waist should be unnatural in volume - about 55 cm.
Vladimir Ivanovich Gau. Portrait of Natalia Nikolaevna Goncharova - Pushkin.
The desire for the "ideal" waist often led to a tragic consequence. So, in 1859, one 23-year-old fashionista died after the ball due to the fact that the ribs squeezed with a corset to her liver.

For the beauty of the ladies were ready to endure different inconveniences: the wide fields of the ladies' caps, who hung on the eyes, and came to move hardly to touch, long and heavy bells of dresses.

In the authoritative British magazine "Lancet" in the 1820s, it was suggested that in muscular weakness, diseases of the nervous system and other illnesses, women should blame the weight of their dresses, which made up about 20 kilograms. Often the ladies were confused in their own skirts. Queen Victoria somehow dislocated an ankle, coming to his hem.
In the second half of the 19th century, the thrust for artificiality was revived. Healthy blush and tan, strong, strong body became signs of low origin. The ideal of beauty was considered "Osin waist", pale faces, stockiness and refinement.
Laughter and tears of secular beauty should be beautiful and elegant. Laughter should be not loud, but crumbly. When weeping, you can drop no more than three-four tears and observe not to spoil the complexion.
Camilla Klodel
In fashion painful femininity. We are talking about mental illnesses in which impassivity borders with madness, a symbol of such a beauty can serve Camilla Claudel - Muse and a student of the sculptor of Ogusta Rodin and body diseases, like Margarita Gautier, a deadly sick tuberculosis of the Kurtisani heroine "Lady with Camellias "Alexander Duma.
To give the face of the matte patenity, the ladies took three times a day the gross chalk (well-purified chalk could be obtained in pharmaceutical stores; to use chalks intended for the card game, it was impossible) and drank acetic and lemon juice, and circles under the eyes were achieved at the expense of special Distracy.
