EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, "Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mehmed IV" (1891), by renowned Russian artist Ilya Repin, immortalizes a legendary moment in history when the victorious Cossacks of Saporog responded to an ultimatum from the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed IV. In the painting, a group of Cossacks, dressed in traditional garb, are depicted sitting around a table, quill pens in hand, as they draft a letter in response to the Sultan's demand for their submission. The scene is filled with amusement, laughter, and contempt as the Cossacks mockingly write their reply. The victors, emboldened by their victory on the battlefield, boldly snub the Sultan's demand with an abusive and insulting letter. The year was 1676, and the Cossacks, a semi-autonomous group of warriors living in the stepes along the Dnieper River, had recently defeated the Ottoman Turkish forces. Despite their military triumph, the Sultan still expected them to submit to Turkish rule. However, the Cossacks, known for their fierce independence and rebellious spirit, had no intention of doing so. The painting captures the spirit of the Cossacks' defiance and their unwillingness to bow to authority. The contemptuous tone of their letter, which included insults against the Sultan and his empire, was a slap in the face to the Ottoman Empire's power and prestige. The painting is a testament to the Cossacks' unyielding spirit and their refusal to be subjugated, making it an iconic symbol of Russian history and the indomitable spirit of the Cossack people.
