The Snow Maiden, Viktor Vasnetsov, 1899

Ilya Repin (1844-1930) "Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan" (1883-1885) Oil on canvas Realism Located in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia The painting depicts the grief-stricken Russian tsar Ivan the Terrible cradling his dying son, the Tsarevich Ivan Ivanovich, shortly after the elder Ivan had dealt a fatal blow to his son's head in a fit of anger. The painting portrays the anguish and remorse on the face of the elder Ivan and the shock and heartbreak of the dying Tsarevich, shedding a tear at the unexpected betrayal and shock of having been killed by his father's hands.

“François-Joseph Talma, the prominent French actor and theatre reformer, addressed the tsar with a line from a play: ‘Friendship of a great man is a gift of the gods’. The tsar rose to his feet, politely pointing at Napoleon, and the two embraced to a thunder of applause. Talma was one of Napoleon’s favourite actors — the emperor frequently employed the thespian as a coach to teach him onstage postures, especially since contemporaries believed they much resembled each other in appearance.”
