The artist first conceived of painting this painting after he had to witness the massacre of the "people’s criminals." As you know, these people were not criminals at all, they just did not want to obey the authorities. This trial was later called "The Process of 193". These events took place in St. Petersburg in 1878. The final version of the picture "the arrest of a propagandist," which Repin began to write back in 1880, appeared only a few years later.

Description of Ilya Repin’s painting Arrest of a Propagandist
The artist first conceived of painting this painting after he had to witness the massacre of the "people’s criminals." As you know, these people were not criminals at all, they just did not want to obey the authorities. This trial was later called "The Process of 193". These events took place in St. Petersburg in 1878.
The final version of the picture "the arrest of a propagandist," which Repin began to write back in 1880, appeared only a few years later. The artist was constantly refining it, believing that it lacked something. All the changes he made because he wanted to maximize the honesty and truthfulness of the picture.
In fact, it turned out it was very real. Repin highlighted the main character through the use of various artistic means. His bright red shirt contrasts with the surrounding background. Similarly, his thoughts, views, and understanding of life are also different. He sees the reality around him differently than all those who arrest him. He is a true revolutionary with progressive views and ideas. The propagandist is located in the very center. Because of this, the artist has skillfully captured his gaze. The revolutionary looks very harshly at the man located at the very wall. In his eyes there is hatred towards him, but he is not afraid. He is very calm. It is this calmness that emphasizes the fact that the prisoner has an indomitable will and strength of spirit.
Everyone else is completely unconcerned about how the hero’s future fate will unfold. The crowd is simply curious to see how events unfold.
"The Arrest of a Propagandist" belongs to the "Narodnaya Volya" series of works by the artist.
