the matter is obviously not only in Kuindzhi. Last may, a mentally unstable visitor broke the protective glass of the painting of Ilya Repin "Ivan the terrible and his son Ivan on 16 November 1581", damaging the fragments of the canvas and colorful layer. The picture then had to be sent for long-term restoration. "Ivan the terrible" attacked not for the first time in history. Set painting often emotional, charged, therefore, for the future is to err.

Repin is included in the top most expensive Russian artists. The auction record was set in 2011, when the painting "Paris cafe" was sold at Christie's for $7.4 million Prices for finished portraits not once approached the level of $700 000. And the pictures and graphics Repin sketches for future paintings sold in the range of $3000-20 000.
