Meanwhile, in the life of Ilya Repin
The whole life1872
Tretyakov comes to Repin’s studio
Hearing of the material brought back from the Volga, Pavel Tretyakov came to the St Petersburg studio himself, studied the sketches on the walls for a long time and chose two — the portraits of a watchman and a pedlar — halving the price. Later, in Moscow, the business relationship grew into friendship: they exchanged notes, argued and suggested ideas to one another.
1872
Commission from Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich
Repin’s drawings of the Volga barge haulers won him a commission from Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich for a large painting on the subject — “Barge Haulers on the Volga”, completed in 1873.
23 February 1872
Venchaniye s Veroy Shevtsovoy
Вместо свадебного путешествия — деловые поездки: Москва на открытие «Славянского базара», затем этюды в Нижнем Новгороде. Брак продлился пятнадцать лет, родилось четверо детей.
1873
“Barge Haulers on the Volga” at the Vienna World Exhibition
Shown at the Vienna International Exposition, “Barge Haulers on the Volga” brought Repin his first international attention, and the Academy’s grant allowed him a long journey — through Austria and Italy to Paris.
April 1873 – 1876
Pensionerskaya poyezdka: Vena, Italy, Paris
Посетив Вену, Венецию, Флоренцию, Рим и Неаполь, осел на год в Париже (мастерская на Rue Véron). К концу поездки начал признавать импрессионистов, выделяя Мане; под его влиянием написано «Парижское кафе».
1876
Zvaniye akademika za «Sadko»
Написанный в Париже «Садко» принёс звание академика — и ядовитые рецензии: «Ах, смотрите, maman, человек в аквариуме!»
