Repin´s style manages to convey a sense of harmony, a rare sense of sweetness, and remorse of the act. In this scene, Repin manages to capture the underlying story, horror, and prospect of fear (both, for the loss of his son and his empire) he approached the creation of this piece as a rejection of violent acts and bloodshed inspired by the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881. By capturing the moment after the fatal blow, he managed to capture a crucial moment in the history of Russia. |
