Painting by Kramskoy “Portrait of the philosopher Solovyov”
In 1885, Kramskoy takes care of Repin, defends his “Ivan the Terrible,” which reminded the Russians of the fate of the heroes of the Narodnaya Volya. And in the same year he painted a portrait of Vladimir Solovyov, who bravely opposed the death penalty of the First Martovites. The philosopher and poet Vladimir Sergeevich Soloviev is the son of a famous historian.
March 28, 1881, Vladimir Soloviev read a public lecture, in which he urged to pardon the murderers of Alexander II. For this he was permanently suspended from teaching.
The portrait of Solovyov is unusually beautiful. An elegant figure in a dark against the background of a carved chair. A thin face, a powerful forehead under beautiful dark hair, thinly carved nostrils, deep dark eyes. The dark ultramarine is blinded by a blue flame in this portrait: a blue suit, black and blue hair. This ultramarine in years will use Vrubel for his “Demons.”
Kramskoy was a unique portrait painter
Some strange black-violet glow emanated from Kramsky’s canvas. Repin. who saw this work of the great portraitist, was shocked by the depth of the man’s research: “Ah, Ivan Nikolaevich, what can you do, why are you telling us all!”
Years passed, and Valentin Serov read Repin poetry Vladimir Solovyov, which Repin took over immediately and often pronounced them in old age. “This is a poem about the art of a portrait,” Repin said.
