The story of Religious Procession in Kursk Province

Repin painted it between 1880 and 1883, a monumental canvas of 175 x 280 cm showing the procession that carries the Our Lady of Kursk icon from Korennaya Pustyn Monastery to the city of Kursk. It sets peasants, clergy, officers and provincial elites side by side and the unflattering treatment of church and state authority caused controversy at its exhibition; Leo Tolstoy praised it as a neutral picture of the social order.

Ilya Repin

Ilya Yefimovich Repin was a Ukrainian-born Russian painter. He became one of the most renowned artists in Russia in the 19th century. His major works include Barge Haulers on the Volga (1873), Religious Procession in Kursk Province (1880–1883), Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan (1885), and Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks (1880–1891). He is also known for the revealing portraits he made of the leading Russian literary and artistic figures of his time, including Mikhail Glinka, Modest Mussorgsky, Pavel Tretyakov, and especially Leo Tolstoy, with whom he had a long friendship.
