Religious Procession led to controversy when first exhibited due to the icon being held by a man who appears to be drunk. Behind them follow a crowd mostly of peasants, but ranging from beggars and disabled people, police and military officers to figures from the provincial elite.
The procession is led through a dusty landscape by robed, Orthodox priests holding icons, festoons and banners over their heads. Completed between 18, the work shows a seething, huddled mass attending the annual crucession (cross-carrying Eastern Orthodox religious procession) which carried the famous icon Our Lady of Kursk from its home at the Korennaya Pustyn Monastery to the nearby city of Kursk, western Russia. Religious Procession in Kursk Governorate (also known as Easter Procession in the District of Kursk or A Religious Procession in Kursk Gubernia' ) (Russian: Крестный ход в Курской губернии) is a large oil on canvas painting by the Russian realist painter and sculptor Ilya Repin (1844–1930).
