Swept by the winds of romance, Pushkin, like his pen, is resistant to the wonders of nature. The Russian poet is depicted here engulfed by the ardour of the 19th century. From court intrigue to deadly duels and Caucasian travels with flights of lyricism, this poetic master stands out from the Laeken landscape. But this small square brings a touch of Russia to Brussels. Wherever you are, Pushkin would have said: “Intoxication with the world is deadly, and you and I, dear friends, are caught in its whirlwind.”
