"Portrait of Vladimir Samoylov as Hamlet" is a notable 19th-century painting by the Russian artist Karl Pavlovich Briullov, also known as Karl Brulloff. Created in 1836, this work of art is a character portrait that captures the esteemed Russian actor Vladimir Samoylov in the role of Hamlet, the tragic protagonist of William Shakespeare's play of the same name. The painting is significant for its dramatic representation of the actor and the character, reflecting the Romantic era's fascination with Shakespearean drama and the exploration of complex human emotions.

Briullov, a prominent figure in Russian art, was renowned for his mastery of portraiture and historical painting. In this portrait, he skillfully conveys the psychological depth and inner turmoil of Hamlet, as interpreted by Samoylov, through expressive brushwork and a moody, atmospheric use of light and shadow. The actor's intense gaze and contemplative pose suggest the weight of Hamlet's existential musings, famously encapsulated in the soliloquy "To be, or not to be."

The painting stands as a testament to the cultural exchange between the worlds of visual arts and theater in Russia during the early 19th century. It also highlights the role of the artist as an observer and chronicler of contemporary cultural figures. "Portrait of Vladimir Samoylov as Hamlet" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Karl Pavlovich Briullov and serves as a valuable historical document of Russian theatrical history.

Held in high regard for its artistic and cultural significance, the portrait is a part of the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and the public alike.
