Eugene Onegin

The novel by A. S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin" is presented in illustrations by the famous 20th-century painter Lydia Timoshenko. Pushkin's main work became the only book that Timoshenko approached as an illustrator. It was an experiment (which, by the way, many of her colleagues discouraged her from), completely absorbing the artist... for twenty years. As a result, she created two different series of illustrations: one in oil, in the grisaille technique, in the early post-war period (published in this edition), the second in the 1960s, in color lithography. To this day, Lydia Timoshenko's works are considered the best embodiment of the images described in the novel.
