EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the renowned Russian poet Ivan A Krylov, painted in 1832 by Johann Leberecht Eggink. Krylov, hailed as Russia's finest writer of fables, left an indelible mark on literature with his satirical works that exposed the flaws and inefficiencies of the bureaucratic system during his time. In this painting, Krylov is depicted as a pensive figure, seated and holding a letter in his hand. The artist skillfully captures the essence of the poet's contemplative nature through intricate details such as his focused gaze and thoughtful expression. The use of vibrant colors adds depth to this remarkable artwork. Krylov's earlier compositions drew inspiration from Aesop and Jean de la Fontaine's fables but he later ventured into creating original tales that resonated deeply with readers. His writings served as a scathing critique of the stifling bureaucracy prevalent in Russia at that time. Preserved within the esteemed collection of the A Pushkin Memorial Museum in St Petersburg, this portrait serves as a testament to Krylov's enduring legacy. It not only portrays him as an accomplished writer but also highlights his significant contributions to Russian literature during the 19th century. Eggink masterfully captures both Krylov’s physical appearance and inner world through this oil painting, making it an invaluable piece within fine art images. This print allows us to glimpse into history and appreciate one of Russia’s most celebrated literary figures - Ivan Andreyevich K
