![[Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov] Field Marshal Count Alexander Suwarrow Rimniskoy](jpegs/49628.jpg)
[Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov] Field Marshal Count Alexander Suwarrow Rimniskoy Commander in Chief of the Combined Armies in Italy.
C. Hampe del. N. Schiavonetti Sculp.
London Publish'd June 21st 1799, by
Stipple. 110 x 160mm (4¼ x 6¼"), with large margins.
Half portrait set in a roundel of Alexander Vasilievich Suvoroff (c.1729-1800), the fourth (and last) Generalissimo of Russia, famed for never losing a battle, fighting 63. The portrait celebrates his successes in Italy (1799-1800), when his combined Austro-Russian army drove the French out of most of Italy. Promised a triumph, his emnity with the Tsar Paul meant it was never held. When Suvoroff died soon after his return Paul ensured his Generalissimo's funeral honours were downgraded to that of a field marshal. Undoubtedly this pettiness towards a national hero was one of the reasons Paul was assassinated by disaffected army officers less than a year later.

[Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov] Field Marshal Count Alexander Suwarrow Rimniskoy Commander in Chief of the Combined Armies in Italy.
C. Hamper del. N. Schiavonetti Sculp.
London Publish'd June 21st 1799 by Messrs Schiavonetti, No 12 Michaels Place Brompton.
Very fine stipple. 355 x 250mm (14 x 10"), with very large margins. Mint.
Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov (1729-1800), Russian military commander. He was the fourth and last generalissimo of the Russian Empire. He was one of the few great generals in history who never lost a battle, and he was famed for his military manual 'The Science of Victory'. This print was published in 1799, soon after Suvorov (aged 68) led his forces to victories at Cassano d'Adda and Trebbia in the Italian campaign which contributed to driving French troops from Italy and therefore ensured his popularity in England.
