EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned Russian writer Leo Tolstoy immersed in a different kind of labor - ploughing the fields. Created in 1887 by Ilya Efimovich Repin, this color lithograph showcases Tolstoy's connection to nature and his dedication to hard work. In this picturesque scene, Tolstoy can be seen guiding a horse-drawn plough through the fertile land. The vibrant colors bring life to the painting, highlighting the lush green fields and blue sky that surround him. This image not only portrays Tolstoy as an accomplished writer but also as a humble farmer, emphasizing his deep appreciation for rural life. Tolstoy's presence in this agricultural setting symbolizes his belief in simplicity and self-sufficiency. As one of Russia's most celebrated novelists, he often incorporated themes of rural life into his literary works. Through this image, we catch a glimpse of how deeply connected he was to the land and its people. The juxtaposition between Tolstoy's intellectual pursuits and physical labor is striking. It serves as a reminder that even great minds find solace and inspiration in manual work. This photograph immortalizes both his literary genius and his down-to-earth nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are transported back to 19th-century Russia - a time when agriculture played an essential role in society. It reminds us not only of Tolstoy's immense contributions to literature but also of the importance of staying grounded amidst
