Esteemed by both prerevolutionary and Soviet Russia  Repin is placed beside Tolstoy  Dostoevsky  Musorgsky  and Rimsky-Korsakov for the magnitude of his contribution to Russiaa cultural heritage. Repin gave to Russia a wealth of canvases on contemporary and historical themes as well as many exceptional portraits of the noted personalities of his day. His paintings include such well-known works as The Volga Boatmen  Ivan the Terrible Killing his Son Ivan  Tolstoy in the Forest at Prayer  and the portrait of Musorgsky. This volume illustrates a wide selection of his major works including some works held in the U.S.A. which have never previously been reproduced. Biographical notes on Repins many friends and portrait subjects provide a cross section of the Russian cultural establishment. The socio-historical turbulence of his times and the stylistic evolution in Russian painting form the background for Repins development as man and artist. To convey the national status of Repins achievements  the authors have written of Repin as he himself perceived his life and his art amidst the political  social  and artistic activity of his day. Russia on Canvas thus gives a unique view of a major Russian artist to the English-reading public.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923751141429,"sku":"ByrdShop_0271002522","price":248.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780271002521.jpg?v=1794113492","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/russia-on-canvas-ilya-repin-9780271002521","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
