"Portrait of Nikolai Gogol" is an 1841 oil on canvas painting by the Russian artist Alexander Andreyevich Ivanov, known for his historical and religious scenes. This portrait captures Nikolai Gogol, one of the most prominent Russian writers of the 19th century, celebrated for his satirical prose and plays. The painting is notable for its psychological depth and the skillful rendering of Gogol's features, which reflect the complexity of his character and the intensity of his inner life.

Ivanov's portrait of Gogol is a significant work in the canon of Russian portraiture, as it represents a meeting of two great minds: the artist and the writer. Ivanov, a key figure in the Russian Romantic movement, was adept at infusing his works with a sense of the spiritual and the emotional. In this portrait, he captures Gogol during a period of profound personal and creative turmoil, which is subtly suggested by the writer's introspective gaze and the nuanced interplay of light and shadow on his face.

The painting is also an important historical document, as it provides a visual record of Gogol during a time when he was actively engaged in literary circles and producing some of his most influential works, such as "Dead Souls" and "The Government Inspector." Ivanov's portrait thus not only offers insight into Gogol's appearance but also serves as a testament to the cultural and intellectual vibrancy of Russia during the first half of the 19th century.

Today, the "Portrait of Nikolai Gogol" is held in a prominent collection, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its portrayal of one of Russia's literary giants. The work is frequently referenced in discussions of both Ivanov's oeuvre and Gogol's life, symbolizing the enduring legacy of the artist and his subject.
