The rich tapestry of Russian poetry is beautifully captured in these captivating portraits. Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov, a renowned poet from the 19th century, is immortalized in an exquisite engraving that showcases his enigmatic persona. His profound words continue to resonate with readers today. In contrast, the portrait of Mikhail Kuzmin transports us to the early 20th century. Painted with vibrant oils on canvas, it reveals Kuzmin's introspective gaze and hints at the inner turmoil that often fueled his poetic creations. Anna Akhmatova, another iconic figure in Russian literature, is depicted twice in this collection. The first portrait captures her essence through delicate watercolors on paper; her piercing eyes reflect both vulnerability and strength. The second portrayal portrays Akhmatova during a tumultuous period in her life - painted with bold brushstrokes and intense colors that mirror her resilience as she faced personal and political challenges. Alexander Pushkin, often hailed as Russia's greatest poet, is celebrated through various artistic interpretations. A striking oil painting from 1827 by Joseph Vivien depicts Pushkin's youthful charm and intellect while hinting at the depth of emotions hidden beneath his composed facade. Vladimir Mayakovsky emerges as a dynamic force within these portraits - his revolutionary spirit evident in every brushstroke that brings him to life. With piercing eyes and an air of defiance, he embodies the avant-garde movement that defined early 20th-century Russian poetry. Lastly, Vasily Andreyevich Zhukovsky and Sergeyevich Ivan Turgenev are portrayed together in "Pushkin and the Muse. " This artwork by Konstantin Alexeyevich Korovin pays homage to their influential friendship with Alexander Pushkin himself – a bond forged through shared literary passions. These portraits serve as windows into the souls of these remarkable poets who shaped Russian literature for generations to come.
