EDITORS COMMENTS
This half-length portrait showcases Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov (1814-1841), a prominent figure in Russian literature and arts during the Romantic era. The image, captured between 1880 and 1886, depicts Lermontov facing front, his intense gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. The photograph, possibly a lithograph or a high-quality carte de visite, conveys the enigmatic allure of the poet and painter. Born into a noble family, Lermontov was an accomplished author, best known for his poetic works, including "A Hero of Our Time," which reflects the complexities of Russian society during the 19th century. He was also a painter, leaving behind a small but significant body of work. The portrait encapsulates the spirit of the Romantic era, characterized by a focus on emotion, individualism, and the beauty of nature. Lermontov's meeting of frontiers - his dual roles as both a writer and a painter - are reflected in the image, which invites viewers to explore the depths of his creative soul. This portrait of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov is a testament to the rich heritage of Russian arts and literature. The image, now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, stands as a reminder of the enduring influence of this remarkable man and his contributions to the cultural landscape of the 19th century.
