This painting, which Repine considered particularly successful, is the result of a series of portraits of " types" (such as the Black Woman or the Ukrainian Woman) made in Paris in 1875-1876. The mark of the old masters is evident there. Repin had discovered Rembrandt by copying his works at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, but it was during his stay in Europe, after his visits to the Louvre Museum and the National Gallery in London that he paid special attention to it.); Photo © Sylvain Collet

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting "JEW IN PRAYER" by Ilya Efimovich Repin. Created in 1875, this oil on canvas masterpiece is held at the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia. Repin considered this work to be one of his most successful pieces and it reflects his exploration of different "types" or characters during his time in Paris. The influence of old masters such as Rembrandt is evident in this painting, which Repin discovered through meticulous study and copying at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. However, it was during his visits to the Louvre Museum and the National Gallery in London that he truly immersed himself in studying Rembrandt's techniques. In this portrait, we see a devout Jewish man deep in prayer, wearing traditional clothing that signifies his faith and religious identity. The artist skillfully captures both the physical appearance and spiritual devotion of the subject. The rich colors and intricate details bring life to every brushstroke. Repin's ability to convey emotion through portraiture shines brightly here as he portrays a moment of worship and supplication with great sensitivity. This artwork not only represents an individual's personal connection with their faith but also serves as a testament to Russian artistry from the late 19th century. This remarkable piece continues to inspire viewers today with its timeless depiction of belief, tradition, and spirituality within Judaism.
