Ilya Repin (1844-1930) was a leading figure of realism representing modern
Russian painting.He was born as a colonial soldier’s son in the village
of Chuguev, Ukraine. After the entrance into the Academy of Arts

Barge Haulers on the Volga painted in 1873 had shown the name of “Ilya Repin” to Europe. This painting
was exhibited at Vienna World Exposition and collected spotlights.
After that, he studied in European each place, and it is one of his achievements
that introduce the first Impressionists Exhibition he witnessed in Paris
to hometown Russia.
However, after going back in 1876, a conflict came to be seen in works
of Repin in interval with European modernism and the Russian social reality.
The European great master who
ever watched it by Hermitage Imperial House collection took the conquest and,
in particular, works of Rembrandt played a big role and can watch the feature
everywhere. Under such a background, he created great historical painting that stimulated
the spirit of the Russian people, as well as portraits of people of culture.
Although He was hit by the misfortune in which a right hand stopped almost
moving in the later years, he still continued painting a picture with the
left hand. As if to prove that it is eyes to be important for a painter.
