EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait captures the enigmatic and intellectual presence of Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818-1883), a renowned Russian author, dramatist, and poet. The image, taken between 1880 and 1886, depicts Turgenev facing left, his piercing gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. The man with a full beard and a thoughtful expression is dressed in the formal attire of the time, adding to his distinguished air. Turgenev was a leading figure of the Russian literary scene during the 19th century, known for his works that explored the complexities of human nature and the tensions between the old and the new. His novels and plays, which often dealt with the themes of love, morality, and the individual's place in society, were influential in shaping the literary landscape of Russia and beyond. This portrait, possibly a carte de visite, is a testament to Turgenev's enduring legacy as a literary figure and a cultural icon. The image, which is now part of the Library of Congress's vast collection, invites us to reflect on the rich heritage of Russian literature and the men and women who shaped it. Turgenev's portrait, with its timeless quality and evocative power, continues to captivate and inspire us, inviting us to explore the depths of human emotion and the complexities of the human condition.
