The exhibition will be complemented by the publication of a richly illustrated exhibition catalogue with articles by experts, to be made available in Finnish, Swedish and English. The 2.03 m (6 foot 7 inch) by 3.58 m (11 foot 9 inch) canvas was started. After the Ateneum, the exhibition will be on display at the Petit Palais in Paris. Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mehmed IV of the Ottoman Empire, also known as Cossacks of Saporog Are Drafting a Manifesto (Ukrainian: ), is a painting by Russian artist Ilya Repin. The exhibition project at the Ateneum is managed by the chief curator, Timo Huusko. Works will be on loan from, for example, the State Tretyakov Gallery, the State Russian Museum, and private Russian collections. More than one hundred paintings and paper-based works will be on display. The exhibition is realised in collaboration with the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow and the Petit Palais in Paris. His work has also strongly influenced the Finnish people’s current perception of the essence of Russianness. Ilya Repin, the most significant Russian artist of his time, depicted the Russian people, who had been freed from serfdom in the 1860s, as well as the intelligentsia of the era, and the relationship between the people and their rulers. The exhibition’s many portraits feature members of the artist’s family, as well as cultural influencers of the time, such as the composer Modest Mussorgsky and the author Leo Tolstoy. The Ateneum will be able to display Repin’s best-known paintings with masterful details, including Barge Haulers on the Volga (1870–1873) and Zaporozhian Cossacks Writing a Mocking Letter to the Turkish Sultan (1880–1891), both from the State Russian Museum in St. Ilya Repin is above all known as a master of psychological portrayals of people and depictions of Russian folklife.
