EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the profound artwork titled "Tamara in the coffin. Illustration to the poem The Demon by Mikhail Lermontov" created by renowned artist Mikhail Alexandrovich Vrubel between 1890 and 1891. Housed in the esteemed State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, this masterpiece evokes a myriad of emotions and themes. The image depicts Tamara, a central character from Lermontov's poem, lying peacefully in a coffin. As the sun sets behind her, casting an ethereal glow upon her delicate features, one cannot help but be drawn into this scene of melancholy beauty. Symbolism abounds within this piece as it explores concepts such as love, power, fate, and superstition. Vrubel's watercolor on paper technique brings out both the human and supernatural elements present within Tamara's story. The young man portrayed here exudes an otherworldly aura while embodying tragedy and longing simultaneously. Through his artistry, Vrubel delves deep into Russian literature to explore themes of good versus evil through allegory. This print serves as a visual representation of Lermontov's poetic genius intertwined with Vrubel's artistic prowess. It invites viewers to contemplate life’s fragility and destiny’s grip on our existence while immersing themselves in the rich mythology that permeates Russian culture.
