Pushkin Lanskaya biography

Portrait of N. Source: Wikimedia Commons 4 to share the example of her life fully indicates that to avoid publicity, not to advertise her life, remaining beautiful, wise and humane, can also be in the most difficult life conditions. We agree: in the first half of the 19th century, there were much less opportunities for the above than now - neither you cosmetologists, nor Botox, nor yoga with fitness.

The standard of feminine power, which is now being discussed-Natalya Nikolaevna Pushkin-Lanskaya, in the girlishness of Goncharova. Natalya Nikolaevna lived a life long by the standards of her time - gg. She managed to get married twice, giving birth to four children to Alexander Pushkin and her three second husband - Peter Lansky. Her life was investigated from all permissible and unacceptable parties both contemporaries and historians, which can be read in numerous essays, stories, research.

Therefore, today - in the conditions of an extreme lack of natural beauty - I just want to admire the appearance of this beauty, the benefit of her portraits and even photographs has been preserved. On the left is N. Watercolor, on the right - P. Lanskaya, an image from open sources wife of a genius the role of Natalia Nikolaevna in the life of the “Sun of our poetry” and in the events that led to a fatal duel, for a long time was the subject of discussions and dissertations, was criticized and repulsive.

Fortunately, with the opening of new documentary and epistolary materials, the ideas about her personality were revised. They say that the negative attitude towards the poet’s wife was formed during her lifetime, as a reaction of contemporaries to the tragedy. However, there is a reasonable opinion that a negative attitude towards Pushkin’s wife developed in Soviet times, when the task of many historians was reduced to the denial of the monarchy.

At the same time, Natalya Nikolaevna was recorded in the allies to the “bad king who destroyed the poet”. Pushkin's character was more than complex. What is not surprising, given the heredity: in Alexander Sergeyevich, the temperamental character of the great -grandfather - Abram Petrovich Gannibal was largely embodied. If we distract from the African passions associated with the exotic appearance of the progenitor, and go to state -owned affairs, it is worth remembering that Abram Petrovich was not only Peter's favorite, he was in the room, accompanied him in his room, was on campaigns, was his orderly and secretary, but also one of the advanced and educated people of his time, who made a dizzying painful career.

The genius of the great -grandfather was largely not bypassed by the great -grandson. Natalia Pushkina Goncharova with her husband. The image from open sources of 11 children Abram Petrovich were all born in Pernov or Revel, the current Pyarn and Tallinn, respectively, have survived seven, respectively, until adults. But a rare description of the characteristics of the character and behavior of the great poet is the memories of one of the women, to whom Pushkin devoted his thoughts.

Anna Petrovna Kern turned out to be the only beauty who, even in his memoirs, made up his meetings and conversations, bored of his herself many years after his death: “It was difficult to get closer to him: he was very uneven in handling. It is noisily cheerful, then impudent, then endlessly amiable, then languidly bored; And it was impossible to guess in which he would be the location of the spirit in a minute ...

In general, it must be said that he did not know how to hide his feelings, expressed them always sincerely and was unpretentiously good when something pleasantly excited him. When he decided to be kind, then nothing could be compared with the brilliance, sharpness and fascination of his speech. A lively perceiving good, Pushkin was not fond of him in women; He was much more fascinated by wit, brilliance and external beauty.

The flirty desire he liked attracted the attention of the poet much more than the true deep feeling, inspired by him; He himself almost never expressed feelings; He was as if they were ashamed of them and in this was the son of his age. The reason that Pushkin was rather fascinated by brilliance than the dignity and simplicity in the character of women was, of course, in his low opinion about them, which was completely in the spirit of that time.

" There is still no consensus on how a happy marriage developed between Pushkin and Goncharova, but the poet himself in his letters to friends throughout his family life did not stop praising his wife. So, in the year he wrote to his friend Peter Pletnev: "My wife is not one appearance." In the letters that Pushkin wrote to his wife, there are no high -fired confessions in love. Speaking of his strong feelings for Natalie, the poet did it simply: "I had to marry you, because all my life I would be unlucky without you." Source: Culture.

Most considered it a coquet, but the accusation is unfair. And Natasha had darkness of such admirers, ”recalled Nadezhda Eropkina, sister Pavel Nashchokina, who was a friend of the poet. Both in St. Petersburg and in Moscow, where the Pushkin family lived, Natalie very quickly gained widespread popularity - she was known as the first beauty, in which all cavaliers at the balls were massively falling in love.However, the beauty herself shrugged such attention.

So, in a letter to her grandfather, Natalie Pushkina said that rumors about the desire of the imperial couple came to her on a walk, and for this reason she prefers to choose the most secluded places. The emperor and the empress still met with the Pushkin, and "the Empress told Natasha that she was very happy to get to know her a thousand other cute and amiable things." As Pushkin’s mother wrote, after that Natalie was "forced, not at all wanting to appear at court." Portrait of Natalia Nikolaevna Goncharova-Pushkina, year.

The image from open sources judging by the correspondence of the poet with his wife, he was very jealous of her. However, Pushkin was in vain worried - Natalie took care of children and the economy, and the lights of light excited her little. Personally, for me, the best confirmation of the fact that Natalya Nikolaevna was by no means a coquet and a cold -blooded socialite, which for a long time represented her in Soviet studies, is how she chose a person who had married a second time in seven years.

At the head of the family, at the age of 25, Natalie remained the widow of the great Russian poet with four young children, ruined by economy and debts. Having buried her husband, she left for the family estate, where she once still lived with her grandfather. There she spent the next two years, focusing on raising children. Natalie regularly visited her husband’s grave near Mikhailovsky.

The first three years there was only a simple wooden cross, then the widow of the poet was able to establish a marble obelisk. Children of Pushkin in the year. Grisha, Masha, Tasha, Sasha. It is known that at that time Natalya Nikolaevna really needed money, she had to conduct an economy, in which she, in her own words, was absolutely inexperienced: “I do not dare to make any orders out of fear that the elder laughs right in my face.” In the year, she returned to Petersburg in order to make her grown children get a good education.

Judging by the portraits, by the age of 30 Natalya Nikolaevna became even more beautiful. Even the tragedy, which laid an imprint on the expression of her eyes, did not reduce the attractiveness of this amazing beauty. In the capital, the most enviable grooms looked after her, including Count Perovsky, Prince Golitsyn, Nikolai Stolypin and the Neapolitan diplomat Count Griffuo.

She refused everyone: it was important for Natalia Nikolaevna that the future husband accepted her children as relatives, and not offer to send them away, somewhere abroad. Lanskaya turned out to be such a man, Major General Peter Lanskaya. Neither Pushkina nor Lansky had a fortune, and the light marveled at this "union of hunger with the need." However, later the family friends spoke positively about Lansky: “He is a good person”, “Her husband [Natalia Nikolaevna] kind person, and good not only for her, but also for children.” In the St.

Petersburg House of Lanski, in the end of the 10ths, children of friends often stayed, who, for one reason or another, could not spend the holidays at home. Natalya Nikolaevna wrote to her husband: “In general, I am very pleased with my little boarding house, it is easy for them to lead. I could never understand how the noise and pranks of children could bother, no matter how sad you are, you involuntarily forget about it, seeing them happy and satisfied.

” At that time, her eldest daughter, Mary, turned 17, and the youngest, Elizabeth, was not yet a year old. Lansky from left to right: Alexandra, Sofya, Elizabeth. Images from open sources of miracle portraits to the share of this amazing woman had a complex fate, a lot of sadness and experiences. However, she always remained inexpressibly beautiful. Quite a lot of verbal descriptions of the appearance of Natalia Nikolaevna, her portraits and even photos have been preserved.

Naturally, everyone saw and sees it in their own way. Judge for yourself ... The earliest image of the beauty is a portrait of an unknown artist who captured a little girl. They began to take her out very early, and she was always surrounded by a swarm of fans and admirers. Education in the village in clean air left her flowering health. Strong, dexterous, she was unusually complicated, which is why each movement was filled with grace.

The eyes are kind, cheerful with a subtiting spin from under the long velvet eyelashes, ”contemporaries remembered her like that. The earliest and, perhaps, the only children's portrait of Natalia Goncharova, an unknown artist, watercolor. Little Natasha is six to seven years old on him. The portrait of Natalia Goncharova Bryullov is the only one where it is depicted in Anfas, with a direct look.

Pushkin himself wanted his wife to be painted by Karl Bryullov, Alexander's brother. He even wrote to Natalia: “I already managed to visit Bryullov. I found him in the workshop of some sculptor with whom he lives. I liked him very much ... He saw him somewhat starting drawings and thought about you, my lovely. I will not have your portrait written by them? It is impossible that he, seeing you, does not want to draw you ...

". However, Karl Bryullov painted pictures of only pretty people personally.But Natalya Nikolaevna he did not like, he counted her ... ugly. As the artist’s nephew said: “He looked with a hinted eye and got to write, referring to the fact that she was oblique! She looked very young, but at that time she was already in position, although the pregnancy was not yet noticeable. The beauty posed for the artist in a light pink ballical dress.

The artist managed to convey both the prettiness of Natalie’s children's face, and her chic toilet. The elegance of the young face was added to earrings and ferroner, decorating a high forehead. Watercolor, gg. Alexander Sergeevich categorically insisted that Goncharova pose in them. Genitors in the earrings are the famous Shiriysk Diamonds. Six watercolor portraits of Natalia Nikolaevna created Vladimir Gau in, and years.
