EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Nikolai Khristianovich Bunge (1833-1900), a prominent Russian economist and finance minister, during the 1880s. The monochrome image, likely a carte-de-visite, showcases Bunge facing slightly right, his piercing gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. His well-groomed beard and neatly combed hair suggest a man of refinement and importance. Bunge's career spanned various roles in the Russian government and academia, including serving as Finance Minister from 1878 to 1881. He was a key figure in the economic and financial developments of late 19th century Russia, advocating for free trade and the modernization of the country's economy. This portrait is a testament to the meeting of frontiers between the old and the new, as Bunge embodies the transition from traditional Russian society to a more capitalist and industrialized nation. The image, though unattributed, is a valuable addition to the rich heritage of 19th century art and political history. The Library of Congress, a renowned repository of knowledge and cultural artifacts, is the current location of this portrait. Its acquisition and preservation ensure that future generations can continue to learn from and be inspired by the lives and achievements of influential figures like Nikolai Khristianovich Bunge.
