EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures Constantine I, the King of Greece from 1913 to 1917 and again from 1920 to 1922. Born in 1868, Constantine was the eldest son of King George I of Greece and Grand Duchess Olga of Russia. He ascended to the throne following the Balkan Wars, during which Greece expanded its territory at the expense of the Ottoman Empire. Constantine's regal appearance is emphasized by his grand attire, complete with a crown adorned with the Greek cross and a scepter in hand. His prominent mustache, a symbol of masculinity and power during the early 20th century, adds to his imposing presence. However, this portrait was taken in reverse, making it an intriguing and unique depiction of the monarch. The Balkan Wars marked a significant period in Greek history, and Constantine's reign was marked by both triumphs and challenges. During his first tenure, Greece emerged as a victorious power in the region, but his second reign was marred by political instability and the eventual collapse of the monarchy in 1924. This photograph, taken in 1915, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the enigmatic figure of Constantine I as a powerful and regal monarch. Despite the challenges he faced during his reign, his legacy continues to be a subject of fascination in Greek history and culture.
