"Portrait of the Historian Nikolay Kostomarov" is a significant 1870 painting by the Russian artist Nikolai Nikolaevich Ge. This work is a notable example of Ge's portraiture, capturing the essence of one of Russia's prominent historians and ethnographers, Nikolay Ivanovich Kostomarov. Known for his contributions to the study of Ukrainian history and his involvement in the Pan-Slavic movement, Kostomarov was a figure of considerable intellectual influence during his time.

Nikolai Ge, an artist associated with the Russian Realist movement and a member of the Peredvizhniki (The Wanderers), was renowned for his ability to convey deep psychological insight and emotional intensity in his portraits. In this painting, Ge employs his characteristic realism to depict Kostomarov with a sense of gravitas and introspection, reflecting the historian's scholarly demeanor and intellectual pursuits.

The portrait is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the facial features and expression of Kostomarov, which convey a sense of wisdom and contemplation. Ge's use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure, while the subdued color palette underscores the serious and reflective nature of the subject. The background is kept simple and unobtrusive, ensuring that the viewer's focus remains on Kostomarov's face and the subtle nuances of his expression.

This painting not only serves as a visual documentation of Kostomarov's appearance but also as a testament to his enduring legacy in Russian and Ukrainian historiography. It exemplifies Ge's skill in capturing the inner life of his subjects, making it a valuable piece in the study of 19th-century Russian art and portraiture. The work is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its historical significance, offering insight into the intellectual landscape of the period.
