Sign In to see what this sold for

RUSSIAN CZAR ALEXANDER III LARGE 1900s COPPER PORTRAIT. Size 27 by 32" (with frame). Aleksandr Aleksandrovich; (1845-1894) Czar of Russia (1881-94). He assumed the throne after the assassination of his father, Alexander II. The internal reforms he instituted were designed to correct what he saw as the too-liberal tendencies of his father's reign. He thus opposed representative government and ardently supported Russian nationalism. His political ideal was a nation containing a single nationality, language, religion, and form of administration, and accordingly he instituted programs such as the Russification of national minorities in the Russian empire and the persecution of non-Orthodox religious groups.
