Sul dipinto
Con le parole del museo — in russo
В 1899 году Репин с « истинным наслаждением » работал над портретом Максима Горького, но успел провести до отъезда писателя только два сеанса. Не прописанные места, просвечивающийся красочный слой не смущали автора портрета, так как этюдный характер письма с предельной точностью раскрывал неудержимую внутреннюю энергию будущего пролетарского писателя.
Горький Максим (настоящая фамилия и имя Пешков Алексей Максимович, 1868–1936) — пролетарский писатель и драматург, общественный деятель.

Nella vita di Ilya Repin
Tutta la vita1898
A journey to the Holy Land; an icon for Jerusalem
In 1898 he travelled to the Holy Land and painted the icon “Carrying the Cross” for the Russian Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Jerusalem.
1898–1899
Rektor Vysshego khudozhestvennogo uchilishcha
Преподавал в училище при Академии с 1893 по 1907 год, в 1898–1899 — ректор.
1899
Buys land at Kuokkala and builds “Penaty”
In 1899 Repin bought land near the village of Kuokkala, forty kilometres north of St Petersburg, and with Natalia Nordman built the Penaty estate, which became his home for thirty years. At first it was only a summer house; after he left the Academy in 1907 it became his permanent home and studio.
January 1899
Joins the editorial board of “World of Art” — and cools
In early January 1899 he agreed to join the journal’s editorial board, won over by Diaghilev’s “fighting spirit”. By mid-January his mood had changed: the ideological platform of “World of Art” meant opposition to the Academy of Arts and to a dying Wandererism.

Wednesdays at Penaty: Chaliapin, Gorky, Mayakovsky
The estate was eccentric: a studio under a pyramidal lantern roof, a landscape garden with a “Pushkin alley”, a multicoloured Egyptian-style music kiosk and a telescope looking over the Gulf of Finland. Repin gave vegetarian breakfasts, a habit taken from Tolstoy, and lavish Wednesday receptions attended by Chaliapin, Gorky, Glazunov, Kuprin, Polenov, Brodsky, Fechin, Mayakovsky, Rozanov and Bekhterev.
