Ilya Repin
This beautiful example of Russian art can be seen until 9 March 2020 at the State Russian Museum's exhibition, Ilya Repin. To the 175th Anniversary of the Artist's Birth. If you're in St. Petersburg, don't miss it!
Among Repin's masterpieces is a dynamic portrait of Anton Rubinstein (1829–1894), a leading Russian pianist and composer who founded the St Petersburg Conservatory and often performed in Western Europe and the United States.
"An interesting head, like a lion," Repin wrote about him to V. V. Stasov, a well-known art and music critic, with whom the artist listened to concerts under the baton of Rubinstein many times. Here you can listen to his music. : )
See you tomorrow!
