EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Alexandr Sergeyevich Pushkin" painted by Orest Kiprensky in 1827. The Russian Romantic poet and author, Pushkin, who tragically lost his life in a duel, is immortalized in this masterpiece. The artist cleverly includes a statuette of a muse in the background, symbolizing Pushkin's profound poetic calling. Pushkin's attire is equally significant as he dons a plaid cloak reminiscent of Lord Byron, Europe's esteemed poetic genius. This subtle reference pays homage to Byron's influence on Pushkin and highlights his own literary prowess. Displayed within the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, this painting exemplifies the rich tradition of Russian art from the 18th and 19th centuries. Vladimir Fiala beautifully captures its essence in his book "Russian Painting of the 18th and 19th Centuries" published by Artia in Czechoslovakia during 1965. The portrait emanates an air of romance and mystique that encapsulates Pushkin's enigmatic persona. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported back to a time when literature flourished under Pushkin's penmanship. This remarkable print serves as both an artistic tribute to one of Russia's greatest literary figures and an invitation for viewers to delve into the world crafted by Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin himself.
