"Left Behind" painting
Is this painting the same as "Mortally Wounded"? I have not found any pictures of a painting named "Left Behind" by this artist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.150.92.130 (talk) 11:52, 9 November 2019 (UTC)


 * I searched a little and also found nothing. "Mortally Wounded" seems like a stretch, but its closer than almost all the other paintings in some online galleries from the correct time period (Totally History has a large one). There's an off-wm Russian wiki that seems to have just machine-translated much of the en-wp page, as "Оставленный позади" (literally "Left behind") does not appear to associate with any painting title by Василий Верещагин. The article on Russian WP does not mentioned any specific paintings in the 1874 St. Petersburg exhibition nor those which he burned. The article also cites (in blockquote) Fyodor Ilyich Bulgakov's skepticism about his level of mistreatment at the exhibition and his supposed reaction. Bulgakov's seems to cite (acccording to ru-wp - I haven't read the book) the correspondence of Vladimir Vasilievich Stasov for this. I think for further investigation Bulgakov's book is probably the place to go next. SamuelRiv (talk) 05:36, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
