Painting Description
"Portrait of Mikhail Ilarionovich Kutuzov, Prince of Smolensk (1745-1813), Russian Field Marshal, 1813" is a historical painting by Roman Maximovich Volkov, a Russian artist known for his portraits and historical scenes. The artwork immortalizes one of Russia's most revered military leaders, Field Marshal Mikhail Kutuzov, who played a pivotal role in the defense against Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812. Kutuzov is celebrated for his command during the Battle of Borodino and for orchestrating the Russian strategy of scorched earth and tactical retreats, which ultimately led to the French army's disastrous retreat from Moscow.
Completed in 1813, the year of Kutuzov's death, Volkov's portrait is a posthumous tribute to the Field Marshal's legacy. It captures Kutuzov in military regalia, adorned with the insignia and decorations befitting his rank and contributions to the Russian Empire. The portrait is not only a representation of the individual but also serves as a symbol of Russian resilience and patriotism during a time of national crisis.

Volkov's work reflects the artistic conventions of the period, characterized by a focus on realism, attention to detail, and an emphasis on the dignified representation of its subjects. As a historical document, the portrait provides insight into the military attire and honors of the era, as well as the visual culture surrounding Russia's military heroes.
