EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait captures the enigmatic and intellectual gaze of Vasilii Andreevich Zhukovskii (1783-1852), a prominent figure of Russian literature during the Romantic era. The photograph, taken between 1880 and 1886, showcases Zhukovskii's distinguished appearance with his neatly combed gray hair, bushy eyebrows, and a thoughtful expression. Dressed in formal attire, the poet and literary critic is depicted with an air of sophistication and refinement. Born in Moscow, Zhukovskii was a prolific writer, translator, and editor, who played a significant role in shaping Russian literature during the 19th century. He was a key figure in the Meeting of the Frontiers movement, which aimed to bridge the gap between European and Russian literary traditions. Zhukovskii's works, which include translations of Shakespeare, Byron, and Goethe, as well as his own poetry, helped to popularize Romantic literature in Russia. This portrait, now held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., is a testament to the enduring legacy of Vasilii Andreevich Zhukovskii as a literary titan and cultural icon. The image, reminiscent of the Carte de Visite format popular during the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to ponder the life and contributions of this remarkable man.
