The role of great Russian artist Karl Briullov in Taras Shev -chenko’s creative life. Self-portrait of Taras Shevchenko, 1840. In the same year Shevchenko was accepted as a student into the Academy of Arts i the workshop of Karl Briullov.

Briullov depicted a sudden eruption of Vesuvius which had happened early in the morning in 79 AD and the town had been covered with 7 meters of ashes for 18 centuries.“The Last Day of Pompeii”

Shevchenko was a serf. A prominent Russian artist Briullov, Shevchenko’s teacher, painted a portrait of a famous Russian poet Vasiliy Zhukovsky. The portrait was bought by Tsarivna because V. Zhukovsky was the teacher of her children. She paid 2.500 rubles for the portrait. This sum of money was used to buy Shevchenko out of serfdom.

In his childhood Shevchenko took a great interest in drawing. He graduated from St. Petersburg Academy of Arts and became an artist. He painted a lot of pictures and 150 portraits.

Portrait painting was the leading genre in Shevchenko’s work as an artist. He often visited Hermitage and copied the most outstanding works of Rembrandt. The contemporaries called Taras “Ukrainian Rembrandt”.

Women’s portraits take a special place in Shevchenko’s painting.

The influence of Ukrainian history on Illia Repin’s creations 1844*1930 Repin was born in Ukraine. The artist was a blood brother to Cossacks because he was interested in their heroic deeds. He came to Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Odesa to know more about Cossacks. As a result of his research Repin created his masterpiece “Zaporizhzhian Cossacks Write a Letter to the Turkish Sultan”

In 1676 the Turkish Sultan called Cossacks for obedience in his letter. But their answer was full of humor and jeer. There was nobody in the whole world who felt freedom, equality and fraternity as deeply as Zaporizhzhian Cossacks.
