The Mysterious Portrait by Nicolai Gogol | A Wicked Story about the Social Greed of a Young Painter
What happens when a young painter, on the brink of economic ruin, comes into a lot of money?
Bork Nerdrum and Jan-Ove Tuv sit down to review Nicolai Gogol's short story "The Mysterious Portrait".
Topics from the conversation:
• Tchartkoff stumbling upon the portrait in a picture shop
• Discovering thousand gold coins in the back of the frame
• Giving up the craft to become a high society portrait painter
• Realizing he wasted his talent, he starts destroying other people’s work
• "The Devil" — a usurer destroying the life of all his clients
• Has his portrait commissioned by a religious painter to be "kept alive"
• The painter becomes envious and starts painting evil expressions
• The portrait ruins anyone who possesses it
• "The Devil" is the lack of interest in your work
• People who are afraid are easily tempted by the Devil
• Are you integrated and can you stand on your own feet?
