EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic Monument of Pushkin, situated in the heart of Moscow's Pushkinskaya Square. The monument, dedicated to Russia's national poet Aleksandr Pushkin (1799-1837), was designed and sculpted by Alexander Mikhailovich Opekushin (1838-1923). Completed in 1923, the monument stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Pushkin's literary contributions to Russian culture. Born in Moscow, Opekushin was a renowned Russian sculptor, painter, and architect. He studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture and later at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg. Opekushin's impressive body of work includes numerous monuments, statues, and architectural designs throughout Russia. The Monument of Pushkin, completed in the early 20th century, is a significant work in Opekushin's career. The monument features a larger-than-life statue of Pushkin seated on a rock, holding a quill pen and a book. The poet is depicted in a contemplative pose, reflecting the depth and complexity of his literary genius. The monument's base is adorned with intricate bas-reliefs depicting scenes from Pushkin's most famous works, including "Eugene Onegin" and "The Bronze Horseman." This photograph captures the timeless beauty and grandeur of the Monument of Pushkin, a cherished landmark in Moscow's rich cultural heritage. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring power of literature and the role of great artists like Opekushin in preserving and celebrating the stories and traditions that define a nation.
