Sommario/riassunto

Ilya Repin was a leading Russian painter and sculptor who is most famous for his involvement with the Russian Itinerant movement. These avantgarde artists rebelled against the formalism and tradition of the official Academy of Fine Arts and championed the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity. Repin's most powerful works expressed great psychological depth (Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan on November 16, 1581) and exposed tensions within the social order (Barge Haulers on the Volga) of his time.This book invites you to discover the wonderful artworks of this progressive realist painter
