EDITORS COMMENTS
The portrait print of Denis Davydov, created by Orest Kiprensky in 1811 and published in 1939, captures the essence of a remarkable Russian soldier. Denis Davydov's story is one of bravery and sacrifice during the Napoleonic Wars. As a hussar colonel, he fought valiantly at significant battles such as Austerlitz and Ostrovnoye. This striking image showcases Colonel Yevgraf Vladimirovich Davydov with his military regalia. Despite losing an arm and a leg at the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, he remained steadfast in his duty to defend his country. Decorated with numerous military honors for his exceptional service, Davydov embodies resilience and courage. Orest Kiprensky's artistic talent shines through this oil painting that now resides in The State Russian Museum in St Petersburg. Born into serfdom near Saint Petersburg himself, Kiprensky overcame societal barriers to become an accomplished artist. In this portrait, we see Colonel Yevgraf Vladimirovich Davydov dressed impeccably in his uniform adorned with intricate frogging details and tassels. His sword rests by his side as a symbol of both power and protection. This print serves as a testament to the heroism displayed by soldiers like Denis Davydov during times of war. It allows us to reflect on their sacrifices while appreciating the skillful artistry behind its creation.
