EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Maria Kazimirovna Yushnevskaya, a woman whose life was intertwined with the tumultuous events of 19th-century Russia. Painted by Nikolai Alexandrovich Bestuzhev between 1830 and 1839, this fine art print showcases Maria's grace and resilience amidst the backdrop of rebellion. Maria was married to Alexander Yushnevsky, one of the Decembrists who participated in the failed uprising against Tsar Nicholas I in December 1825. The Decembrist revolt aimed to bring about political reform and freedom from autocratic rule. However, their efforts were met with harsh consequences as many were exiled or sentenced to hard labor in Siberia. In this portrait, Maria gazes confidently at the viewer, her eyes filled with determination and strength. Her elegant attire reflects her social status while also symbolizing her unwavering support for her husband's revolutionary ideals. The use of color lithography adds depth and vibrancy to this graphic artwork, highlighting both Maria's individuality and the spirit of romanticism that permeated Russian society during this time. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those involved in revolutionary movements like the Decembrists. Today, this remarkable piece can be found in the collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow—a testament to its historical significance. As we admire Maria Kazimirovna Yushnevskaya's portrait, we are reminded not only of her personal story
