Taras Shevchenko

Ukrainian, 1814–1861

Taras Shevchenko (1814–1861) était un poète, écrivain, artiste et figure publique ukrainien, né dans une famille de serfs à Morintsy, dans ce qui était alors l'Empire russe. Il a montré un talent artistique dès son jeune âge et a ensuite étudié à l'Académie impériale des beaux-arts de Saint-Pétersbourg. Shevchenko a écrit de la poésie en ukrainien et de la prose en russe, et sa collection "Kobzar" est devenue fondamentale pour la littérature et la langue ukrainiennes modernes. En raison de son implication avec la Fraternité des Saints Cyrille et Méthode, il a été exilé en Asie centrale, où il a continué à créer malgré les restrictions, et après sa libération, il est mort à Saint-Pétersbourg.
