EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print showcases Nikolai Sazontovich Ilyin, a prominent figure from the late 19th century. Seated in a dignified manner, Ilyin exudes an air of authority and wisdom. Dressed in his military uniform, complete with a great coat and cap, he embodies the essence of Russian military might. Beyond his military career, Ilyin was also known as a talented writer and religious thinker. This portrait captures not only his physical appearance but also hints at the depth of his intellectual pursuits. His long beard adds to the aura of wisdom that surrounds him. The lithograph is taken from El Mundo en la Mano or The World in Your Hands, published in 1878. It serves as a testament to Ilyin's influence during this era when Russia was undergoing significant social and political changes. Displayed against a plain background, this image allows us to focus solely on Ilyin himself - his presence demands attention. The fine details captured by the European School artist bring out every contour of his face and every fold in his clothing. Preserved within a private collection today, this print offers us an intriguing glimpse into the life of Nikolai Sazontovich Ilyin - an individual who left an indelible mark on both Russian history and intellectual discourse.
