Ilya Repin's Ivan the Terrible and his Son Ivan, is one of the most controversial and shocking images in Russian art.
When it was unveiled in 1885, it caused such a scandal that the Tsar himself banned it from public view.
Since then, it has been physically attacked twice - slashed in 1913 and nearly destroyed again in 2018. To this day, Russian nationalists denounce it, insisting it is Western propaganda, historically inaccurate, and unfair to Ivan the Terrible.
But the painting leaves little room for doubt. Here, Ivan the Terrible - Russia’s first crowned Tsar - has just struck down his own son in a violent rage, moments after attacking his pregnant daughter-in-law and causing her to miscarry.
This isn’t simply a historical scene. It is a universal story of rage, regret, domination, and destruction - an image that still reverberates through time. And is still relevant.
