Synopsis "Le Portrait (in French)"

La première partie est l'histoire d'un peintre, Tchartkov, qui est au début de sa carrière, il est jeune et pauvre. Il est l'incarnation de l'artiste romantique, consacrant sa vie à un art sans compromis. Lors d'une de ses promenades dans Saint-Pétersbourg, il s'arrête chez un vendeur de tableaux. Un genre de brocanteur qui vend les tableaux, comme un marchand de poisson, un jour de marché. Essayant de mettre dans les mains n'importe quel tableau, le peintre distrait mais ne voulant pas être impolis, se voit dans l'obligation de chercher un tableau à acheter.

Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol was born in 1809, in present-day Ukraine, and died in Moscow in 1852. He moved to Saint Petersburg in 1828, and after overcoming some setbacks, he entered the literary circles of that city in 1831. His humor, the treatment of themes, the use of language, and stylistic devices left deep marks and set a precedent.
The work of Nikolai Gogol, considered by many critics as the father of Russian realism, laid the foundations for what would be the Golden Age of Russian literature. Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Chekhov in the 19th century, as well as Zamyatin, Bulgakov, and Nabokov in the 20th century, acknowledged their debt to this author.
