EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the year 1901, where one of the greatest literary minds of all time, Leo Tolstoy, is captured in a moment of contemplation. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Leonid Osipovich Pasternak, whose attention to detail and skillful brushwork brings out the essence of Tolstoy's character. Tolstoy sits comfortably in an armchair with a newspaper spread open before him. His piercing gaze suggests deep intellectual curiosity as he delves into the news of his time. With his iconic long beard and intense expression, it is evident that Tolstoy's mind is constantly at work, crafting stories that would go on to shape generations. This portrait not only immortalizes Tolstoy as a writer but also reveals his role as an essayist and novelist who challenged societal norms through his thought-provoking works. It transports us to Yasnaya Polyana, his beloved estate where he found solace and inspiration for many years. The oil-on-canvas technique used by Pasternak adds depth and texture to every stroke, capturing both the physical likeness and inner spirit of Tolstoy. This painting serves as a testament to Russian literature's golden age at the end of the 19th century and early 20th century. Now housed in St Petersburg's Institut of Russian Literature IRLI (Pushkin-House), this print allows us to appreciate not only Tolstoy's genius
