EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of Tsarevna Sophia Alexeevna in the Novodevitchy Convent, painted by Ilya Efimovich Repin in 1879, tells a story of imprisonment and reluctant submission. Standing at an impressive size of 201.8x145.3 cm, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia. Tsarevna Sophia Alexeevna was Peter the Great's older half-sister who was forced to become a nun against her will. The artist skillfully captures her inner turmoil and frustration through his meticulous brushwork. Her expression is one of annoyance and fury as she clutches onto a cross tightly, symbolizing her conflicted emotions towards her new life within the convent walls. Repin's attention to detail extends beyond capturing Tsarevna Sophia's emotional state; he also meticulously depicts the interior décor of the Novodevitchy Convent from the 17th century. The rich colors and intricate patterns add depth to this powerful portrayal. This painting belongs to the Peredvizhniki group, known for their realistic depictions that often carried social or political messages. In this case, Repin sheds light on Tsarevna Sophia's plight as she finds herself trapped within these holy confines. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of Tsarevna Sophia Alexeevna's fierce spirit and indomitable anger that still resonates after centuries have
