EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the charismatic duo of Ivan Radunsky and Felix Kortezi, famously known as Bim-Bom, during the 1890s. The image showcases their remarkable partnership as Russian circus clowns, exuding a sense of entertainment and joy that transcends time. Dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect the vibrant spirit of Russia, Radunsky and Kortezi strike a pose with their instruments - a guitar and bottles. Their mischievous smiles hint at the mischief they are about to unleash upon their audience. It is evident that these talented performers have mastered the art of captivating spectators with their unique blend of humor and skill. The photograph provides a glimpse into late 19th-century Russia's rich circus culture, where clowns held an esteemed place in entertainment. As part of this double act, Bim-Bom undoubtedly brought laughter to countless faces across the country. Preserved within this private collection, this historical snapshot offers us an opportunity to appreciate the legacy left behind by these iconic figures. Through their dynamic presence captured by an anonymous Russian photographer from the 19th century, we can still feel their energy radiating from within the frame. Bridgeman Images has once again curated a treasure trove from our past through Fine Art Finder. This print serves as a reminder of how artistry knows no boundaries or limitations when it comes to bringing happiness to people's lives – regardless of time or place.
