EDITORS COMMENTS
The Ploughman (Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy at the Plough), 1887, captures a remarkable portrait of the renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy as he immerses himself in the humble life of a ploughman. Painted by Il ya Repin in 1965, this masterpiece showcases Tolstoy's deep connection to his country and its rural roots. In this painting, we see Tolstoy depicted with great realism and regionalism, embodying the spirit of rural Russia. With strong brush strokes and vibrant colors, Repin brings to life the rugged countryside and agricultural landscape that shaped Tolstoy's writing. The image portrays an old man working diligently behind a pair of powerful horses as he guides the plough through fertile soil. It symbolizes not only manual labor but also represents Tolstoy's belief in simplicity and hard work as essential virtues for personal growth. Repin skillfully captures both the physicality of farming and the introspective nature of Tolstoy's character. The artist invites us to contemplate how these two seemingly contrasting worlds intersect within one individual - a celebrated writer who finds solace in manual labor. This print is housed in Moscow's State Tretyakov Gallery, where it serves as a testament to both Tolstoy's literary legacy and his profound connection to his homeland. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded that even great minds find inspiration from simple tasks performed with dedication.
