Alexander Beneath Bust Casually Marble Pushkin Samara Sergeyevich
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two young Russian boys take a moment of respite beneath the shade of the marble bust of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin, located in Samara, Russia. Dressed in simple, turn-of-the-century attire, they sit casually on the grass, their posture relaxed and unassuming. The serene expression on their faces speaks to the peaceful atmosphere of the scene, as if they are lost in thought or simply enjoying the beauty of the moment. The marble bust of Pushkin, a renowned Russian poet and playwright, stands proudly behind them. Known as the "apostle of Russian literature," Pushkin's works have had a profound impact on Russian culture and identity. Born in 1799, he is considered one of the greatest literary figures in Russian history, and his influence can still be felt in the country today. The setting of this photograph is the picturesque city of Samara, located on the Volga River in central Russia. The bust of Pushkin is a popular attraction in the city, and it is not hard to see why. The intricately carved marble details capture the essence of Pushkin's likeness, and the tranquil surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for reflection and contemplation. This photograph, taken circa 1907, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. The boys' carefree attitude and the timeless beauty of the bust of Pushkin serve as a reminder of the enduring power of art and literature to inspire and captivate, regardless of the passage of time.
