Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin drew creative inspiration in many respects from his ladies' environment. Stormy feelings, passion, love experiences saturated his life with bright colors, which he splashed out in the process of creating new literary masterpieces.
Spouse
It is known for certain that the great Russian poet dedicated some of his works to his wife Natalia Goncharova.
In addition to the poem "Madonna", Natalie was also dedicated to the works "No, I do not value rebellious delight", dated 1831, and "It's time, my friend, it's time" in 1834.
One of them is the famous Madonna.
On the eve of its creation, Alexander Pushkin was in Moscow, where he made a second marriage proposal to his beloved (after an unsuccessful first attempt). This time, the proposal to start a family was accepted.
After that, the happy poet goes to his personal family estate to await the coming of the most beautiful day in his life. In order to brighten up the long days of separation, he hangs in his room a portrait of a blond Madonna, who, according to him, has an almost identical external resemblance to her beloved. At the same time, Pushkin sends a letter to his wife, in which he reflects his feelings and experiences before the wedding, to which she sends him an encouraging answer that soon he will not have to look at a soulless picture, since he will have a wife. Inspired by this wonderful event, he creates a magnificent love poem "Madonna", dedicated to Natalia Goncharova.
Verse by A. Pushkin "Madonna"
The poem "Madonna" was written by A. S. Pushkin six months before the wedding, in 1830. In the very first lines of the work, the poet claims that no portraits of famous artists can be compared with the love and understanding that is achieved in a happy marriage. The poet believes that it is the harmonious atmosphere that attracts lovers to each other and then is embodied in a wonderful family life, where mutual respect and trust reigns. Also in the poem, the poet noted that he dreams of forever contemplating only one picture, where the main characters are he and his wife as an ideal married couple living a long and happy life. And, of course, Pushkin thanks God for the "charms of the purest sample" sent to him from heaven, because Natalia Goncharova combined beautiful appearance, high intelligence and education.
For all the difficulties, Natalya Goncharova remained for the poet the most desirable and beloved woman, which he proved in the deadly duel, which took place precisely because of her.
However, at that time, the author did not even suspect that a few months later he and his chosen one would have a loud quarrel about a wedding devotee. The bride, after all, belonged to a very noble family, which at that time had acquired a bunch of debts, and after the wedding they would have passed to the Pushkin family. Despite the fact that the poet did not plan to repay these obligations, the wedding still took place, however, along with her, the image of the Madonna, described in the famous poem, slightly faded.
