1881//Oil on canvas
The idea of a large painting devoted to a religious procession was born in 1876, during a trip that Repin made through the Russian province, with the aim of bringing sketches back on the spot. Several studies precede his great realization Religious procession in the province of Kursk. Those dedicated to the character of the hunchback, of which we know many painted or drawn variants, are among the most beautiful. This figure appears in the final table, under a different attitude.); Photo © Sylvain Collet

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "THE HUNCHBACK, 1881" an oil on canvas masterpiece by Ilya Efimovich Repin. The painting is housed in the prestigious Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia. Repin's inspiration for this grand artwork came during his travels through the Russian province in 1876, where he meticulously sketched scenes to bring back to his studio. These sketches served as studies for his ambitious project, "Religious Procession in Kursk Province". Among these studies were various depictions of a hunchbacked character, each one more beautiful than the last. In the final composition of the painting, we see this enigmatic figure portrayed with a different posture and attitude. The hunchback becomes a central element within the larger narrative of religious procession. The photograph itself was expertly captured by Sylvain Collet and is part of Bridgeman Images' collection from Fine Art Finder. It offers viewers a glimpse into Repin's mastery of capturing human emotion and physicality through paintbrush strokes. "The HUNCHBACK, 1881" evokes contemplation about themes such as deformity, illness, and health while also exploring notions of beauty and acceptance within society. This thought-provoking artwork stands as a testament to Repin's artistic genius and continues to captivate audiences even today.
