In the life of Ilya Repin
The whole life1863–1871 · Education
Imperial Academy of Arts
1863–1871
Kramskoi — mentor — and the artists’ artel
Repin regarded Ivan Kramskoi as his direct mentor: he was at home in the artists’ artel Kramskoi founded, showed him his student sketches and listened to his advice. After Kramskoi’s death he wrote recollections in which he called him his teacher.
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.

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».
