This was the first major painting that brought Ilya Repin (1844-1930) major success. The idea for the painting came to him when he was a student at the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg. While walking along the Neva River, he was struck by the sight of utterly exhausted barge workers hauling a heavy load as carefree townspeople walked past. Repin h...
After graduating from the Academy of Arts, Repin embarked on extensive travels abroad. In 1873, he set off for Italy and lived in Rome. He also spent three years in France, studying the latest art movements. And although Repin did not embrace Impressionism, he did carefully study this the new style.

The painting amazes the viewer with its wide variety of different people—from more than 70 characters emerges a cohesive picture of the life of the people. Religious Processionwas met with a mixed reception among Repin’s contemporaries. Some believed that the painting finally es...
It is believed that Repin intended this painting to parallel the tragic events of 1881—namely the assassination of Tsar Alexander II and the execution of members of the Narodnaya Volya(People's Will) revolutionary organization.

The Zaporozhian Cossacks, which took Repin more than 10 years to paint, stands out as an expression of human vitality and the free spirit of man. Repin himself wrote of the protagonists: "A holy people! No one in the world held freedom, equality, and fraternity so deeply." The painting is inspired by the story of how, in 1675, Sultan Mehmed IV gave...
They Did Not Expect Him is part a cycle by Repin that is dedicated to the fate of the first Narodnik populist revolutionaries in Russia. In the 1870-80s, this revolutionary movement rose in popularity and was then brutally suppressed. Like many others, Repin idealized the young opposition members and drew parallels between the fates of the Narodnik...
In 1899, Repin bought a plot of land in the Finnish settlement of Kuokkala and called the estate“the Penates.” It was here that Repin spent his final years, along with his second wife, Natalia Borisovna Nordman. Following the 1917 Revolution, repeated attempts were made to persuade Repin to return to Soviet Russia. However, he never accepted the ne...
