ivan the terrible and his son ivan on 16 november 1581 by ilya repin
c. 1883-1885; oil on canvas
this work has been called one of russia’s most famous and controversial paintings; it has been vandalized twice. the prince hit his son with his staff, which resulted in a very serious head wound. having injured his son, the father immediately indulged in deep grief. on the fifth day, his son died.
the work does not represent violence but its resolution. ivan the terrible holds his son as his eyes bulge with horror, despair, and madness while making the futile attempt to cover his son’s wound that he inflicted.
1883; oil sketch
1882; pencil sketch
in the earlier sketches, ivan the terrible still clings to his sceptre with more visual bloodstains. the moment in the final painting represents remorse, forgiveness, and love.
