EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the renowned Russian author, Ivan Gontcharov, captured in 1888 by the talented artist Nikolai Aleksandrovich Yaroshenko. Painted with oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 58.5x40 cm and is currently housed at the Regional Art Museum in Alupka. Gontcharov's distinguished presence emanates from the canvas as he sits formally for his portrait. His impressive beard and sideburns frame his face, adding to his air of wisdom and intellect. As a prominent figure in Russian literature, Gontcharov is best known for his iconic novel "Oblomov" which explores themes of laziness and apathy in society. Yaroshenko's realist style beautifully captures Gontcharov's essence, portraying him as both thoughtful and contemplative. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings out the depth of character that defines this esteemed writer. The painting also highlights Gontcharov's association with the Peredvizhniki group - a progressive movement of artists who sought to bring art closer to everyday life through realistic portrayals. This affiliation further solidifies Gontcharov's significance within Russian culture during this period. As an out-of-copyright image available through Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, this print allows us to appreciate not only Yaroshenko's artistic talent but also pay homage to one of Russia's literary giants whose contributions continue to resonate today.
