The Cossacks Reply to the Sultan
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of a historical event from 1676. Created by Il ya Repin in 1890 and later published in 1939, this artwork depicts the legendary moment when the Zaporozhian Cossacks boldly responded to an ultimatum from Sultan Mehmed IV of the Ottoman Empire. In this painting, we witness a group of fierce Cossack warriors gathered together, drafting their defiant manifesto. On the right side stands Taras Bulba, wearing a distinctive white cap, who is known as the hero of Gogol's famous tale bearing his name. To his left stands Andrei, Taras Bulba's son, displaying determination on his face. Ataman Serko sits almost at the center with a pipe in his mouth, exuding leadership and wisdom. The attention to detail and meticulous brushwork by Ilya Repin are evident throughout this masterpiece. It is worth noting that Tsar Alexander III recognized its significance and commissioned Repin to paint it over two decades. The Tsar paid an unprecedented sum of 35,000 rubles for this Russian painting at that time. Today, "The Cossacks Reply to the Sultan" can be found in The State Russian Museum in St Petersburg—a testament to its cultural importance and artistic brilliance. This print allows us to delve into history while appreciating Repin's exceptional talent as he brings this legendary event back to life through vivid colors and powerful imagery.
