7215298 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 captures a detail from Ilya 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 depicts a religious procession taking place in the province of Kursk during the late 19th century. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he carefully composes a diverse group of characters from different social classes, each with their own unique individuality. While some viewers praised Repin's boldness and expressiveness, others accused him of betraying the religious convictions of the people. In this particular detail captured by Sylvain Collet's lens, our focus is drawn to a middle-aged woman wearing a small icon around her neck. This seemingly insignificant object holds great significance for both the character and perhaps even for Repin himself. The painting was exhibited at the eleventh Salon of the Society for Travelling Art Exhibitions in 1883. Its portrayal of religion and its impact on society sparked divided opinions among viewers. Through this photo print, we are transported back to a time when faith played an integral role in people's lives. It serves as a reminder of how art can provoke discussions about religion, tradition, and societal values that continue to resonate today.
