Mikhail Lomonosov has long been called a textbook personality. Each student from a young age, knows about the outstanding scientist, or at least about its existence and recognize its appearance in the portrait.
In the painting of the XVIII century, a special demand paintings of people. Largely this was due to the human desire to leave a trace in history and transmit to posterity the information about how looked brilliant minds of their time. Such a person, as an outstanding scientist, a pioneer in many fields of science, encyclopedist, poet and a great man with remarkable physical strength could not do without the attention of artists.
The Portrait of Lomonosov is familiar to all from childhood. Few know what a familiar image of the scientist has several interpretations and sometimes very difficult to distinguish the hand of the masters. Among the many works of great interest of art historians calls the print a portrait of Lomonosov, written by M. Schreier, drawing his colleagues and teachers H. Schulze.
The Composition is a little different from thereof Pescara, but you can see that Schreier makes a number of interesting details. A scientist doesn't keep both hands on the table, and sitting in an open posture, Baring their Breasts in homemade sloppy wearing the coat. In one hand Mikhail Vasilyevich keeps records, and a pen in the other. His expression betrays extreme thoughtfulness, but you can catch hints of enthusiasm in his eyes. The viewer is presented a portrait of Lomonosov, who is busy in thought and trying to carefully record everything on paper. Open before him the books lie in the work of negligence.

Engraving Schreier, depicting the portrait of Lomonosov, has one feature on which critics are still scratching their heads. It is assumed that the work was written, drawing Schultz, however, he was born in 1749, which is not linked with the date of engraving – the end of the XVIII century. When we look at the picture you can see that in an open book in the foreground you can see the name of Peter I and not Elizabeth, where Lomonosov lived. The overall composition is stylistically built in the spirit of the Baroque, although the end of the XVIII century is considered the period when painting was dominated by classicism. On the basis of these inconsistencies in the art world suggested that the portrait of Lomonosov hands Schreier has passed several stages of its development, and personally the artist had no contact with the scientist. Was originally created portrait of Mikhail Vasilyevich, then it Schulze made a drawing. At the last stage Schreyer created his famous engraving on the motives of a pencil sketch of his teacher and colleagues.
The above Mentioned Baroque style in the picture, which was not a place in the XVIII century, due to the artistic technique that came to us from the times of the Roman Empire. Aiming to inscribe it with the image of a distinguished scholar, Schulze, followed, of course, and Schreier found a prototype picture where it shows Jean-Jacques Rousseau. And, taking it as a basis, "planted" in the body of the thinker, the head of the University. This fact explains the stylistic discrepancies in the engraving, Shrara with the prevailing canons of painting in the late eighteenth century.
