Private things of F.I.Tyutchev.



The Bedroom

In this small room stands the bed where on July 25, 1873 Tyutchev died. The interior (including the bed) was brought from Tsarskoye Selo where the poet spent his last months.
The watercolors depicting the Tyutchevs' family estate Ovstug were painted by the poet's stepson Otton Peterson.
N.A. Khlopov, who was Tyutchev's tutor, bequeathed the icon of Our Lady to the poet "in memory of true love and a faithful heart". On the backside of the icon there are some important notes about Tyutchev's life in Munich made by Khlopov. The engraving "A Battle between the Romans and The Huns" reminds of "The northern Athens" where the poet lived for 22 years. A subject of a fresco of the same name which is kept in the Berlin Museum was prompted by a young Russian diplomat.
In the room there are portraits of the poet's closest people: photographs of his youngest daughter Maria and his son Dmitry, and a watercolor portrait of N.I. Tyutchev, Feodor's elder brother, who always helped him in hard times. All three of them died not long before Tyutchev's death.
In this room there also is a photograph of Ernestine Tyutcheva, who was with the poet in all of his last days. It was she to whom Tyutchev dedicated one of his last poems: "The Punishing God Has Stripped Me of Everything".
