The vessel was delivering a dozen Dutch masterpiece paintings to Europes most voracious collector: Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. Among the lost treasures was The Nursery, an oakpaneled triptych by Leiden fine painter Gerrit Dou, Rembrandts most brilliant student and Hollands first international superstar artist. Dous triptych was long the most beloved and most coveted painting of the Dutch Golden Age, and its loss in the shipwreck was mourned throughout the art world.Vrouw Maria, meanwhile, became a maritime legend, confounding wouldbe salvagers for more than two hundred years.

The Tsarinas Lost Treasure masterfully recounts the fascinating tale of Vrouw Mariaher loss and discoveryweaving together the rise and fall of the artist whose priceless masterpiece was the jewel of the wreckage.Gerald Easter and Mara Vorhees bring to vivid life the personalities that drove (and are still driving) this compelling tale, evoking Robert Massies depiction of Russian high politics and culture, Simon Schamas insights into Dutch Golden Age art and art history, Gary Kinders spirit of, danger and adventure on the beguiling Archipelago Sea.

The book is filled with amazing stories about Catherine the Great, but I was hoping for more visuals. The illustrations are nice, but not as many as I expected. Still, it's a decent read for anyone interested in Russian history!
