EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the likeness of Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (1809-1852), a seminal figure in Russian literature as both a novelist and playwright. The image depicts an actor who portrayed the role of the mayor in one of Gogol's most famous works, "The Government Inspector." Gogol's mastery of satire and his ability to expose the hypocrisy and corruption within Russian society made him a critical voice in 19th-century literature. Born in Ukraine, Gogol's works often reflected the complexities and contradictions of Russian life, blending elements of the supernatural and the absurd with biting social commentary. His most famous works include "Dead Souls," "The Nose," and "The Overcoat." Despite his success, Gogol was a deeply troubled man, and he struggled with depression and mental health issues throughout his life. He eventually left Russia for Paris, where he died in 1852 at the age of 43. This portrait offers a glimpse into the world of Gogol and the theatrical tradition that brought his works to life. The image, with its rich historical significance, is a testament to the enduring impact of Gogol's literary legacy and his place in Russian cultural history.
