Portrait of Paul I by Stepan Shchukin

Portrait of Paul I by Stepan Shchukin

This classic ceremonial image of Paul I became one of the deepest psychological portraits in Russian painting of the 18th century. The success of SS Shchukin is all the more valuable because Paul’s character was extremely complex and contradictory. The head in a large cocked hat is proudly raised, full of the power of the hand, leaning on the cane.

At the same time, the artist managed to give Pavel’s self-love and pride a clearly felt shade of manic; in his narrow-shouldered figure, despite the arrogance of the pose, soreness and weakness are felt, the deeply hidden longing of a man suffering from a complex of inferiority and obliged to hide him under imaginary confidence and extravagance is visible in his glance.

Magnificent painting of the portrait, sustained in a noble gray scale, sculpturedly fashioned the face of Paul. In July 1797, for this picture, which he later had to repeat many times, Shchukin was recognized as an academician. Entered the Leningrad Museum Fund in 1924.
