Ilya Repin, perhaps the most iconic and famous Russian realist painter, said: "life around me disturbs me a great deal and gives me no peace. It begs to be captured on canvas." This explains why most of his works are social commentaries in the guise of art. His massive work, "Religious Procession in Kursk Province," painted from 1880 to 1883, features a huddled and seething mass attending the annual crucession (religious procession). A group of robed Orthodox priest carry the icon of Our Lady of Kursk in a dusty landscape. They are followed by a mass of believers: peasants, beggars, military officers, police forces, and members of the provincial elite. It's a work of art that highlights the perceived abuses by the state and the church.
