EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Joseph Stalin, the infamous political figure of the 20th century. Created by Samuel Johnson Woolf in 1937, this oil painting showcases Stalin's stern yet commanding presence. With his signature mustache and intense gaze, he exudes an air of authority and power. Stalin, born Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili in Georgia, rose to prominence as a key leader in the Soviet Union. Serving as General Secretary of the Communist Party from 1922 until his death in 1953, he played a pivotal role in shaping Russia's history during this tumultuous era. Displayed at the National Portrait Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into one of history's most controversial figures. It serves as a reminder of Stalin's immense influence on politics and society during his time as President. Woolf skillfully captures both Stalin's physical features and his enigmatic personality through meticulous brushstrokes on canvas. The vibrant colors bring life to this portrait while highlighting its historical significance. As we reflect upon this image today, it prompts us to contemplate the complex legacy left behind by Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili - a man who was revered by some for transforming Russia into an industrial powerhouse but reviled by others for his tyrannical rule that resulted in millions of deaths. In preserving such heritage art pieces like Woolf's portrayal of Stalin, we are reminded not only of our past but
