Ilya Yefimovich Repin was born on August 5, one thousand eight hundred and forty-four, died on September twenty-ninth, one thousand nine hundred and thirty , at the age of eighty-six, in the small Ukrainian town of Chuguev, Kharkov province. From an early age, he worked as an icon painter. At the age of nineteen, he entered the St. Petersburg The Academy of Artists. After graduation , he traveled a lot: Italy, Paris. I really love his paintings – I was in the museum in Chuguev. That's why I want to describe one of them to you today: " The Wedding of Nicholas II and Princess Alexandra Fedo- rovny", painted by him in one thousand eight hundred and ninety -four, and in the future I want to describe all his paintings. – as a great artist and sculptor. His works are considered public domain. Currently, this painting is located in St. Petersburg. Alexandra Feodorovna's maiden name was Alix Gessen. She renounced her faith and converted to Orthodoxy in November and took the name Alexandra Feodorovna. The wedding was originally planned for next spring, but at the insistence of Nicholas II, a step forward was taken. The wedding took place on November twenty-sixth one thousand In the year eight hundred and ninety-four. Alexandra wore the traditional Romanov bride dress. Everyone held a lighted candle in front of the priests' palace. And on that day they got married. There were a lot of nobles there, all the cream of society at that time. Look at the clothes of the guests, the embroidered robes of the priests, the dark pink velvet curtains on the windows, as if specially embroidered for this wedding day. Look at the height of the bride and groom and their greatness, that even the small man in front of them, holding the crown over his head, is so small, probably not only in terms of height, but in general in front of the great Tsar Nicholas II. He beautifully described the light in the windows with lighted candles in the chandelier, the divinely beautiful columns and the precision of the crowning faces. And not only them, but probably all of them on the great canvas of his work. 1430.Венчание Николая II и Александры Художник Репин The wedding of Nicholas II and Alexandra by the artist Repin https://stihi.ru/2010/11/15/190 https://stihi.ru/avtor/nensyston Нина Филипповна Каменцева https://suno.com/song/48f08674-63f3-421a-9710-8143a9a6d16c https://suno.com/song/069a5cb2-a1f4-4f85-b52b-99d5db07043c The wedding of Nicholas II and Alexandra by the artist Repin https://suno.com/song/2edbb888-f7b6-477f-a999-25671afb79a3
