EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of two influential Russian poets, Yakov Polonsky and Afanasy Fet, in a moment frozen in time around 1890. The artist behind this remarkable print is Sergei Dmitrievich Botkin, whose skillful composition brings these literary giants to life. Yakov Polonsky, a leading poet in the Romantic tradition of Pushkin, was known for his profound verses that resonated with many composers such as Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff. His impact on Russian literature cannot be overstated. Sitting beside him is Afanasy Fet, one of the most prominent poets of the late 19th century. Fet's work greatly influenced Alexander Blok and other Symbolist poets. In this image, both men are seated on a bench within a serene garden setting. Their expressions reveal wisdom gained through years of contemplation and artistic exploration. Polonsky's beard adds an air of gravitas to his countenance while Fet's headdress hints at his poetic sensibilities. Preserved within the State Museum of AS Pushkin in Moscow, this archival photo serves as a testament to their enduring legacy. It offers us a glimpse into the lives and minds of these literary luminaries who shaped Russian poetry during the 19th century. Through Botkin's lens, we witness not only their physical presence but also catch glimpses into their creative souls - reminding us why they remain cherished figures in Russia's rich literary history.
