Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan

By Ilya Repin


"Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan" is one of those rare works that sparks vitriol and controversy across even centuries. The painting has been violently attacked twice, once in 1913 and again in 2018. The czar who ruled when Repin painted the work commanded its owner not to display it.

Some even debate the fact that Ivan the Terrible murdered his own son as an historical event. This led to Russian nationalists to decry that the painting was depicting Ivan (and therefore Russian history) in a harsher light than what was reality. It was much more likely that Repin simply wanted to demonstrate that the violence of various political movements of the time could lead to unforgiveable results.
