Nekrasov, a name that resonates through the ages. This collection of portraits and illustrations captures the essence of Nikolay Alexeyevich Nekrasov, a renowned Russian poet whose words continue to inspire generations. In Ivan Kramskoy's 1877 portrait, we see Nekrasov in all his glory. His piercing gaze reflects his deep intellect and unwavering determination, and is as if he is peering into our souls, urging us to embrace truth and justice. Moving forward to the early 1870s, another portrait by an unknown artist showcases Nekrasov's dignified presence. The lines etched on his face tell tales of hardships endured and battles fought for artistic freedom. He stands tall as a symbol of resilience against oppression. The illustrations accompanying Nekrasov's poems offer glimpses into his creative world. In one such illustration from the early 20th century, hounds chase after their prey under Nekrasov's poetic command. It speaks volumes about his ability to transport readers into vivid landscapes filled with adventure and emotion. Pyotr Petrovich Sokolov captures General Toptygin in 1875—a man who inspired Nekrasov's poem "Grandfather Mazay and the Hares. " Through this artwork, we witness how real-life figures influenced the poet's imagination, weaving together reality and fiction seamlessly. Boris Michaylovich Kustodiev brings Grandfather Mazay himself to life in a stunning illustration from 1910. We can almost hear Mazay regaling stories while surrounded by mischievous hares—an embodiment of Nekrasov's wit and charm. Nikolai Nikolayevich Ge immortalizes Zinaida (Fekla) Nekrasova—Nikolay’s wife—in an exquisite portrait capturing her gracefulness alongside her husband’s brilliance.
