About the work
Museum text in Russian
Один из ключевых сюжетов Евангелия (Ин. 3, 1–21), вдохновлявший многих художников (А. А. Иванов, Н. Н. Ге). С блестящим мастерством, воодушевленно и темпераментно выразил Репин свое представление о противостоянии двух вероучений, олицетворенное в суровом прямодушии Христа и подобострастно-боязливой восторженности Никодима. Психологическая емкость созданных образов столь велика, что способна вместить безграничное множество жизненных коллизий. Ирина Верховская // Иисус Христос. СПб, 2000. С. 128.

In the life of Ilya Repin
The whole life1887
Razvod s Veroy Alekseyevnoy
При разводе поделили детей: старшие остались у отца, младшие — у матери. Стасов беспокоился о душевном самочувствии друга.
1887
Garshin’s portrait at the 15th Wanderers’ exhibition
From their first meeting Repin wanted to paint the writer, struck by “Garshin’s eyes, full of serious bashfulness”; Garshin would enter the studio noiselessly, like a bodiless angel. Shown in 1887, the portrait split the reviewers — some thought Repin had painted Garshin mad, others had never seen finer eyes and a brighter brow; today it is in the United States, in the Metropolitan Museum.
1888
Second trip for the “Zaporozhians” — with his son Yuri
Eight years after the first trip Repin again set off for Little Russia, this time with his son Yuri, drawing everything the canvas might need — huts, utensils, costumes, weapons. He called his state “a creative binge” and the future characters “a merry folk”.
