LEON TOLSTOI LABOURANT, 1887 (oil on cardboard)
7215383 LEON TOLSTOI LABOURANT, 1887 (oil on cardboard) by Repin, Ilya Efimovich (1844-1930); Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia; (add.info.: 1887//Oil on cardboard
At Iasnaya Polyana in August 1887, Repin made a large number of drawings and studies of Tolstoy. These testify to the writers new way of life, his spiritual quest and his desire to get closer to the peasant world. If Tolstoy hates posing, however, he does not want to offend Repin and lets him follow him in his activities. Alexandra Tolstoy, the writers daughter, evoked in an amused way the painters efforts, forced to run from one end of the field to the other to execute his sketches. Since any mention of Tolstoy already aroused great interest from the public at that time, Repin finally obtained from his model the authorization to have his painting reproduced by photography and engraving.); Photo © Sylvain Collet

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Russian writer Leo Tolstoy laboring in the fields, as depicted in Ilya Efimovich Repin's 1887 painting. The oil on cardboard artwork, housed at the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, showcases Tolstoy's new way of life and his spiritual journey towards understanding and connecting with the peasant world. Repin's dedication to capturing Tolstoy's activities is evident through numerous drawings and studies made during their time together at Iasnaya Polyana in August 1887. Despite Tolstoy's aversion to posing, he allows Repin to follow him around as he goes about his daily tasks. Alexandra Tolstoy fondly recalls the painter's efforts, sprinting from one end of the field to another just to execute his sketches. Given that any mention of Tolstoy already generated immense public interest at that time, Repin sought permission from his model for reproduction through photography and engraving. Eventually granted authorization, this photograph by Sylvain Collet immortalizes Repin's remarkable portrayal of a renowned literary figure immersed in agricultural work. The image transports us back to a rural landscape filled with green pastures and flower meadows. It depicts an agricultural scene where horses play a crucial role in transportation and farming practices such as ploughing. The presence of various horse breeds adds depth and liveliness to this snapshot captured from a bygone era. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder presents this extraordinary piece that encapsulates not only artistic brilliance but also sheds light on an important chapter in Leo Tolstoy's life – one marked by self-discovery amidst nature’s beauty.
