7215310 RELIGIOUS PROCESSION IN THE KURSK PROVINCE (detail), 1881-1883 (oil on canvas) by Repin, Ilya Efimovich (1844-1930); Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia; (add.info.: RELIGIOUS PROCESSION IN THE PROVINCE OF KURSK
1881-1883//Oil on canvas
Repine remembers the lessons of open-air painting and skillfully composes her group with characters from different social classes, giving them a real individuality. The painter is not so much interested in the majestic reliquary as in the small icon worn by a middle-aged middle-aged woman. Repine exhibited painting in 1883 at the eleventh Salon of the Society for Travelling Art Exhibitions. Opinions are divided, some praising his boldness and expressiveness, others accusing him of betraying the religious convictions of the people.); Photo © Sylvain Collet

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detail from Ilya Efimovich Repin's renowned painting, "Religious Procession in the Kursk Province". Created between 1881 and 1883, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia. Repin skillfully captures the essence of an open-air religious procession, bringing together individuals from various social classes with remarkable individuality. While many are drawn to the grand reliquary at the center of attention, it is a middle-aged woman wearing a small icon that catches Repin's eye. This subtle detail speaks volumes about his artistic vision. When exhibited at the eleventh Salon of the Society for Travelling Art Exhibitions in 1883, opinions were divided among viewers. Some praised Repin's boldness and expressiveness, while others accused him of betraying religious convictions held by society. The photograph itself was taken by Sylvain Collet and is part of Bridgeman Images' collection. It provides us with a glimpse into late nineteenth-century Russia and its rich cultural heritage. The painting reflects not only Christian values but also traditions deeply rooted in Russian Orthodox religion. As we delve into this image, we witness a crowd gathered for this religious event—a testament to their unwavering faith and belief system. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture both historical moments and spiritual devotion within diverse populations.
