EDITORS COMMENTS
This half-length portrait captures the enigmatic allure of Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin (1799-1837), one of Russia's greatest literary figures. The image, created between 1880 and 1886, depicts Pushkin facing slightly right, his piercing gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. Dressed in the formal attire of the time, the author, dramatist, and poet exudes an air of refined sophistication. The portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of Pushkin, whose works continue to shape Russian literature and culture. A pioneer of the Romantic era, Pushkin's contributions to the Russian literary landscape are immeasurable. He is considered the "Tzar of Russian Poetry" and the "Father of the Russian novel." The portrait, most likely a lithograph or lithotint, is a valuable addition to the vast collection of the Library of Congress. It serves as a poignant reminder of the rich literary heritage that spans the 19th century and beyond. The image, with its intriguing composition and striking contrasts, invites us to explore the depths of Pushkin's complex personality and the profound impact of his works on the world. The meeting of frontiers between the artist and the subject, the unknown creator and the renowned literary figure, adds an element of intrigue to this portrait. The portrait's black and white tones, reminiscent of the era in which it was created, further enhance its historical significance. This image, a snapshot of a bygone era, continues to captivate and inspire, serving as a bridge between the past and the present.
