Description of Ilya Repin’s painting Self-Portrait
Ilya Repin is a famous Russian artist. His artistic legacy includes a large number of portraits. He also wrote self-portraits. Among them there are some brilliant and famous, some unrecognized. All these works give viewers a unique chance - to see Repin through his eyes, to trace the path of his change over the years.
Repin’s self-portrait, painted in 1878, is considered the most famous. With the picture on the viewer looks carefully 34-year-old, still young, the artist. But he looks older than his years. This work is a reflection of Repin’s inner restless world. The time in Russia was difficult, and the master, worried about the fate of the motherland, torn by contradictory thoughts. The expression of his face on the portrait clearly shows the complexity of the civil situation in the country.
The image on the canvas fits the academic style. The background is dark tones, and the hero is half-turned to the audience. The main accent of the self-portrait is the eyes of Ilya Repin. His gaze is that of a true artist, sharp and observant, as if he is working on a painting right now. The artist’s facial expression is tired. He’s thinking about Russia, worried. If you compare this self-portrait with a later work, you can see that Repin looks much younger there. After all, Russia is calm, calm and master.
Repin’s hair in the self-portrait neatly combed, lying flat, on the parting. Only one of the dark curls loose and fell on his forehead. The artist wears a dark-colored suit, showing a white shirt and a strict tie. The background is dark, one color without transitions. Such a technique Repin uses to achieve the attraction of attention to the face, to the deep gaze.
In the picture Repin looks spiritual. You can see that art and painting mean a lot in his life, he is ambitious. Deep self-portrait showing internal contradictions and spontaneous feelings.

The picture has something of this: portrait, people, man, wear, facial hair, mustache, music, jacket, musician, retro, outerwear, writer, leader, actor, profile, poet.
Perhaps it’s a close up of a painting of a man in a green suit with a moustache on his face.
