I have to admit - I'm absolutely in love with Repin, as an artist and as a person. Here is a quick study of his portrait of Mussorgsky I did recently.
I could talk about him for a long time, so I'll better show a few of his paintings.

| Portrait of Tretyakov (1883) |
When I see this painting, I can't stop staring at the hand - it's done so masterfully, it has a character.

| Portrait of Tretyakov (1901) |

| Mudrogel in the pose of Pavel Tretyakov in halls of the gallery (1904) |
 |
| Aleksander III receiving rural district elders in the yard of Petrovsky Palace in Moscow (1885-1886) |

| The painting at the Tretyakov gallery |
 |
| Religious Procession in Kursk Province (1883) |
I remember that this post is about Repin, but here is a very similar painting by Illarion Pryanishnikov, he was also (like Repin) a member of group called Peredvizhniki (The Itinerants, The Wanderers).

And finally, yesterday I saw a book called "Tretyakov gallery", the quality of it was outstanding. Sounds like a perfect Christmas present to myself!
