[mrdirtybear]

'A Poor Beggar' as painted in 1823 by Russian romantic painter Vasily Tropinin (1776-1857). Much of his life was spent as a serf; he didn't attain his freedom until he was over forty years old. Three of his more important works are a portrait of Alexander Pushkin and paintings called The Lace Maker and The Gold-Embroideress.

Vasily was born as a serf of Count Munnich in the village Korpovo of Novgorod guberniya and then transferred to Count Morkovs as a part the dowry of the Munich's daughter. After being transferred he was sent to Saint Petersburg to become a confectioner. Instead of learning his trade as instructed Tropinin secretly attended free drawing lessons in the Imperial Academy of Arts.

Nas janelas

“Nas janelas que dão para a praça estão as mulheres, vestidas e toucadas a primor, à alemoa, por graça da rainha, com o seu vermelhão nas faces e no colo, fazendo trejeitos com a boca em modo de a fazer pequena e espremida, visagens várias e todas viradas para a rua, a si próprias se interrogando as damas se estarão seguros os sinaizinhos do rosto, no canto da boca o beijocador, na borbulhinha o encobridor, debaixo do olho o desatinado, enquanto o pretendente confirmado ou suspiraste em baixo se passeia, de lenço na mão e circulando a capa.”

José Saramago, “Memorial do Convento”; pintura de Vasily Tropinin.

The outstanding Russian painter Vasily Andreevich Tropinin was born a serf peasant and until 1823 he was a serf of Count A.S. Minikh, and later Count I.I. Morkov. He got his freedom only at the age of 47, when he already became a famous artist. Having gained the long-awaited freedom, Tropinin decided to settle in Moscow, where he became one of the most respected artists among the residents of the city. His paintings are painted in the spirit of realism with notes of romanticism.
