Ilya Repin's oil painting of Barge Haulers on the Volga is beautiful to me. I know nothing about him at all (will do a bit of research on him when I get the time), but this painting spoke to me in ways that touched my heart deeply. I felt the struggle, hardship, and desolate atmosphere that this painting seemed to convey through the illustrative framwork evoked in this painting.
