Masters of painting: Ilya Repin Ivan the terrible Kills his son Ivan and composition. -The Story-
By Realist Ilya Repin between 1833 - 1885. "Ivan the terrible kills his son" or "Ivan and his son Ivan" depicts the brutal act of Tsar Ivan after killing his son. 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.
