This remarkable portrait of Mihai Eminescu, created by artist Alexandru Gușanov, is based on one of the four known photographs of the poet. The photograph that inspired this portrait was taken in 1869 in Wenceslas Square, Prague, when Eminescu was only 19 years old. The oval composition and harmonious color palette highlight the prominent personality and charisma of the young poet, capturing an expression that conveys both melancholy and intellectual depth. Alexandru Gușanov (1929-2005), a Moldovan painter of Ukrainian origin, distinguished himself through his extensive work, comprising approximately 5,000 pieces - portraits, landscapes, and still life paintings. Settled in Moldova since 1945, Gușanov graduated from the Republican Art School "I.E. Repin" in Chișinău in 1952. His works were showcased in numerous national and international exhibitions and were highly appreciated in countries such as France, Hungary, Russia, and Yugoslavia. The artist dedicated a significant part of his career to creating portraits of historical and cultural figures, including Dimitrie Cantemir, Mihail Kogălniceanu, and Alexei Mateevici, which are part of the National Museum of History of Moldova's collection.
The subject of the portrait, Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889), is the most significant poet in Romanian literature, whose works reflect profound thought, sensitivity toward nature, and national identity. At the age of 19, when the photograph that inspired this portrait was taken, Eminescu was in the midst of his intellectual formation, preparing to become the iconic voice of Romanian culture. Among his most famous works is the poem Luceafărul (The Morning Star), a masterpiece of universal literature.

Нумизматические материалы по эфталитам
В данной статье исследуются нумизматические материалы, относящиеся к эфталитам, которые проживали на территории Центральной Азии и сопредельных территориях в IV-VI вв. н.э. Именно этот народ сумел в V-VI вв.н.э. установить свое господство на довольно обширной территории. В пик своего могущества границы эфталитского государства простирались с востока на запад: от Хотана (Восточный Туркестан) до границ Ирана, и с севера на юг: от степей нынешнего Казахстана до северо-западной Индии, то есть на большей части территорий Центральной Азии, Афганистана, Пакистана, части Индии и Китая (ряд оазисов Восточного Туркестана).
Период IV-VI вв. н.э. в истории Центральной Азии наиболее слабо изучен. Это объясняется тем, что данные письменных источников, относящихся к этому времени, очень скудны и носят отрывочный характер. Сопоставление их не дает нам полной картины. Археологические материалы также очень ограничены, а датировка их часто носит приблизительный и неточный характер. Нумизматические находки в какой-то мере раскрывают некоторые неизвестные моменты истории, особенно в том, что касается денежного обращения. Но, несмотря на вышесказанное, совокупность имеющихся фактов позволяет в большей или меньшей степени воссоздать картину политической и социально-экономической жизни этого региона.
