7215313 " VETCHORNITSI", 1881 (oil on canvas) by Repin, Ilya Efimovich (1844-1930); Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia; (add.info.: 1881//Oil on canvas
In Ukraine, youth gathered at vigils (vetchornitsi) to get acquainted, especially after work in the fields at the end of summer. Dance and laughter are themes generally associated by Repin with Ukraine. Here the painter highlights the traditional " red corner" of the Isba, which must be visible as soon as you enter the room and where the icons of the house are located. With a marked light and dark, he captures the almost suffocating atmosphere of the party. Leo Tolstoy, who saw this work in Repins Moscow studio in 1880, was enthusiastic about the joie de vivre and the popular nature of the subject.); Photo © Sylvain Collet

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ilya Repin's masterpiece, ""VETCHORNITSI", 1881". Painted with oil on canvas, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia. The painting depicts a scene from Ukraine where youth gather at vigils called vetchornitsi to socialize and get acquainted after a day of work in the fields during late summer. Repin skillfully portrays dance and laughter as central themes associated with Ukrainian culture. In this particular piece, he focuses on the traditional "red corner" of an Isba (a Russian peasant house), which houses religious icons and must be visible upon entering the room. With contrasting light and dark tones, Repin effectively captures the almost suffocating atmosphere of this lively gathering. The renowned writer Leo Tolstoy was captivated by this artwork when he saw it in Repin's studio back in 1880. He praised its depiction of joyous celebration and its connection to popular culture. This print beautifully showcases the vibrant colors and intricate details that make up Repin's composition. The image also highlights various musical instruments such as flutes and panflutes being played by both male and female musicians, adding to the festive ambiance depicted in the painting. Overall, this photograph offers a glimpse into a moment filled with happiness, cheerfulness, and merriment - truly capturing the spirit of celebration within Ukrainian tradition.
