EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the renowned writer Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy immersing himself in a different kind of labor - ploughing with horses. Captured in 1889 by the talented artist Ilya Efimovich Repin, this color lithograph showcases Tolstoy's connection to the land and his dedication to manual work. Tolstoy, known for his literary masterpieces such as "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina" was not only a prolific writer but also an advocate for simplicity and self-sufficiency. This image serves as a testament to his belief in leading a life close to nature and engaging in physical labor. The scene depicts Tolstoy standing firmly behind a pair of majestic horses, guiding them through the vast field. The peredvizhniki group, or Wanderers movement, which both Tolstoy and Repin were associated with, emphasized realism and social commentary through their art. Here, they capture the essence of agrarian life during that era - showcasing the hitching process between man and animal while highlighting the importance of agricultural vehicles like ploughs. This print not only immortalizes Tolstoy's commitment to hard work but also symbolizes his deep connection with Russian culture and tradition. It is an inspiring reminder that even great minds find solace in simple tasks amidst nature's embrace.
