RUSSIAN GREAT HEROES PORTRAIT PAINTING – Russian Great Social leader painting Style

DESCRIPTION: This beautiful Russian painting "Leo Tolstoy" of Russian Great Social leader painting style, depicts –

In this Russian Social leader Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (September 9 [O.S. August 28] 1828 - November 20 [O.S. November 7] 1910) commonly referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer novelist, essayist, dramatist and philosopher as well as pacifist Christian anarchist and educational reformer. He is perhaps the most influential member of the aristocratic Tolstoy family. Leo was born on his father's estate of Yasnaya Pollyanna, in the Tula guberniya of Central Russia. His father and mother are Nicholas Rostov and Princess Marya.

In 1856 he made his first unsuccessful attempt to marry Mlle Arseniev. After these reverses, Tolstoy reflected in his diary that at thirty four, no woman could love him, since he was too old and ugly. In 1862, at last, he proposed to Sofia Andreyevna Behrs and was accepted. They were married on 23 September of the same year. Tolstoy died, apparently of cold, on November 7, 1910. He was buried in a simple peasant's grave in a wood 500 meters from Yasnaya Polyana.
