7215258 REST, 1882 (oil on canvas) by Repin, Ilya Efimovich (1844-1930); Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia; (add.info.: 1882//Oil on canvas
Repine likes to grasp her models in a natural attitude, such as rest, meditation, or sleep. The fall asleep of his wife Vera is subtly rendered here by the hand ready to slide from the arm of the chair. The refined garment is painted in a restrained harmony of browns, blacks and burgundy. This painting is the last he made of his wife: the deterioration of their relations led the couple to separate permanently at the end of the 1890s.); Photo © Sylvain Collet

REST, 1882 - A Captivating Glimpse into Repin's Intimate World
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print of Ilya Efimovich Repin's masterpiece "REST, 1882" we are transported to a bygone era where artistry and emotion intertwine. The painting, housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia, showcases Repin's penchant for capturing his models in their most natural states. Here, we witness the subtle rendering of Vera, Repin's wife at the time, as she peacefully succumbs to slumber. The delicately poised hand on the arm of the chair hints at her imminent descent into restful dreams. The refined garment she wears is bathed in a restrained harmony of browns, blacks, and burgundy hues. This poignant artwork holds deeper significance as it marks the last portrait Repin created of his beloved wife before their relationship deteriorated irreparably towards the end of the 1890s. It serves as a bittersweet reminder of lost love and fading connections. The print beautifully captures every intricate detail within this nineteenth-century masterpiece. From its meticulously crafted attire and furniture to its portrayal of feminine grace and tranquility—each element transports us back to an era long past. Repin's ability to evoke such profound emotions through his brushstrokes is truly remarkable. As viewers gaze upon this timeless piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, they are invited into an intimate world where rest becomes both a respite from life's burdens and a reflection on human relationships—a moment frozen forever in oil on canvas.
