EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Memory of Caucasus, 1838" showcases the artistic brilliance of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov. Painted during a time of great turmoil and resistance in Russia, this landscape painting transports us to the majestic mountains of the Caucasus region. The artist's meticulous brushstrokes bring to life the rugged beauty and untamed nature of these mountains. The towering peaks seem to touch the heavens while casting long shadows over the valleys below. Amidst this breathtaking scenery stands a solitary soldier, symbolizing both strength and vulnerability in his quest for conquest. Lermontov's work is deeply rooted in romanticism, capturing not only the external world but also stirring emotions within our souls. This piece reflects his profound connection with nature as well as his fascination with themes of resistance and guerrilla warfare. The Memory of Caucasus serves as a poignant reminder of the turbulent times that engulfed Russia during this era. It sheds light on historical events such as the Caucasian Wars and holy wars fought in Dagestan against Russian imperial forces. Preserved by Institut of Russian Literature IRLI (Pushkin-House) in St Petersburg, this oil-on-canvas masterpiece continues to inspire awe and admiration for its artistic brilliance and historical significance. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back to a time when brave men fought for their land amidst stunning landscapes - forever etching their memory into history's canvas.
