EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait captures the enigmatic gaze of Aleksei Feofilaktovich Pisemskii, a prominent Russian writer of the late 19th century. The image, created between 1880 and 1886, showcases Pisemskii's distinguished appearance with his full beard and thoughtful expression. He is dressed in the formal attire of the time, reflecting his status as a respected author and playwright. Pisemskii was a key figure in the Realist movement in Russian literature, which sought to depict the raw, unvarnished truths of everyday life. His works, which included novels and plays, often explored the themes of the Meeting of the Frontiers – the clash of cultures and ideas in the rapidly changing Russian society of the late 19th century. This portrait, now held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Pisemskii and the artistic movement he was a part of. The photograph, reminiscent of the Cartes de Visite era, invites us to ponder the life and work of this intriguing figure from Russia's literary heritage. Whether you are a scholar of Russian literature, a history buff, or simply an art lover, this portrait offers a glimpse into the past and the rich cultural tapestry of the 1880s.
