Question

如题所述

Answer 1

法贝热彩蛋（俄文：Яйца Фаберже）是指俄国著名珠宝首饰工匠彼得·卡尔·法贝热（Karl Gustavovich Faberge）所制作的类似蛋的作品，他与助手在1885年至1917年间总共为沙皇与私人收藏家制作了69颗。其中有54颗是为沙皇亚历山大三世与尼古拉二世所作，52颗则为复活节蛋，不过最后只有50颗交付给沙皇。有7颗法贝热彩蛋是为了莫斯科的克尔奇家族所制作的。

这些蛋雕是由珍贵的金属或是坚硬的石头混合珐琅与宝石来装饰。“法贝热彩蛋”后来也成为奢侈品的代名词，并且被认为是珠宝艺术的经典之作。

复活节是俄国东正教的重要节日，订制彩蛋是当年俄国皇室传统的复活节活动。
第一枚皇室彩蛋诞生于1885年的复活节，当时的沙皇亚力山大三世向“皇家御用珠宝师彼得·卡尔·法贝热订做一个精致彩蛋，以讨妻子玛利亚·费奥多罗芙娜皇后一笑。玛丽亚皇后对于亚历山大三世所赠送的蛋雕非常高兴，所以沙皇指定法贝热为“皇宫供应商”，并且委托他每年都要制作一颗独特且令人惊奇的复活节蛋。他的儿子尼古拉二世延续这项传统，每年春天都赠送一颗蛋雕给妻子亚历山德拉·费奥多萝芙娜与他后来守寡的母亲。从1885年第一个皇室复活节彩蛋诞生，一直延续到1917年罗曼诺夫王朝垮台为止，法贝热几乎每年都制作彩蛋，这种蛋雕的名声显著，而且目前已知法贝热也为私人委托者制作了15颗蛋雕。

Answer 2

In 1885 Czar Alexander III presented his wife, Marie, with a spectacularly crafted Easter egg. Over the next three decades, its creator, Carl Fabergé, made 49 more such eggs filled with jeweled surprises and exquisitely detailed paintings for the czar's family. Faber (Stradivari's Genius), former managing director of his family's firm, Faber & Faber, describes the eggs in loving, mouthwatering detail, bolstering his claim that the French-born jeweler led the Russian aristocracy to appreciate fine jewelry design over sheer gem size. Fabergé's influence also spread westward. In England, Marie's sister, Queen Alexandra, also developed a passion for Fabergé. Many of the eggs wound up in the United States after the canny businessman Armand Hammer made a deal with the Soviets to buy nearly one-third of them. Eventual owners included Egypt's King Farouk and cereal heiress Marjorie Meriweather Post. Faber frustratingly devotes far more ink to Romanov history and the precious eggs' twisted paths after leaving Russia than he does to the man who designed them. But the details he does provide—such as Hammer's unscrupulous dealings—make for a tantalizing read.
