EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Russian literary history. The image depicts renowned poet Yakov Polonsky, along with his family, paying a visit to the esteemed poet Afanasy Fet around 1890. Sergei Dmitrievich Botkin skillfully captured this intimate family portrait that now resides in the collection of the State Museum of AS Pushkin in Moscow. Yakov Polonsky, a leading figure in the Romantic tradition of Pushkin, was highly regarded for his poetic works. His words resonated so deeply that they were later set to music by notable composers such as Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff. Meanwhile, Afanasy Fet emerged as one of Russia's most influential poets during the latter part of the 19th century. His profound impact extended even to future generations like Alexander Blok and Symbolist poets. In this monochrome photograph, we see both men adorned with beards and headgear typical of their time. The women are elegantly dressed, showcasing fashion trends from that era. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery in what appears to be a garden setting, it is evident that literature thrived amidst nature's beauty. This archival gem offers us an intriguing glimpse into the lives and connections between these literary giants who shaped Russian poetry during the 19th century. It serves as a testament to their enduring legacy within Russian literature and invites us to explore further into their remarkable contributions.
