Talk:Barge Haulers on the Volga

Untitled
If memory serves me right, this painting was the object of particular ridicule by the miriskusniki such as Alexander Benois and Konstantin Korovin. It's tough to find citations though. --Ghirla-трёп- 14:38, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

collapse
"They are at the point of collapse from exhaustion, oppressed by heavy, hot weather."

Says who? The only reference given is to a book about Dostoevsky, which seems neither relevant nor authoritative. There's no sign of collapse in the picture ... most of the men are leaning, of course, due to the nature of the activity, but the young man and the fellow with the pipe aren't even doing that. The assertions here seem to have come from the imagination and poor observation skills of some editor, not from reliable sources. -- Jibal (talk) 05:10, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

File:Ilia Efimovich Repin (1844-1930) - Volga Boatmen (1870-1873).jpg to appear as POTD soon
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Ilia Efimovich Repin (1844-1930) - Volga Boatmen (1870-1873).jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on June 30, 2018. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2018-06-30. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:23, 14 June 2018 (UTC)


 * The blurb contains an unattributed quote. The main article has a citation, but it's a dead link. And the blurb claims the picture depicts "these men as at the point of collapse", but there's no source for this claim (which is not supported by observation) ... see my "collapse" comment above. This sort of low quality crap doesn't belong on the front page. -- Jibal (talk) 05:15, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
