 | | Repin, Ilya Yefimovich (1844-1930), Russian painter, born in Chuguyev, considered the outstanding realist of his generation. |
 | | Although he was a good drafter and a skilled colorist, he was known mainly for his subject matter: His deeply moving scenes of common people were an indictment of the czarist regime. |
 | | His Volga Boatmen (1873, Russian State Museum, Saint Petersburg), showing bargemen harnessed together like beasts of burden, made him famous. |
