Portrait of Modest Musorgsky
Ilya Efimovich Repin (1844-1930) painted this brilliant
portrait of Modest Musorgsky just weeks before the composer's
death, a death hastened by the ravages of an alcoholism
that can clearly be seen on this canvas. The almost cruel
naturalism of the painting has shocked and fascinated viewers
since its appearance.
