Large Framed Glazed Print: Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks By Ilya Repin
 
Ilya Repin’s “The Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mahmoud IV” is one of the most iconic works in Russian and Ukrainian art history, celebrated for its vivid portrayal of humor, rebellion, and cultural identity. Painted between 1880 and 1891, the artwork captures the historical legend of the Zaporozhian Cossacks’ mocking reply to an ultimatum from the Ottoman Sultan Mahmoud IV. Refusing submission, the Cossacks drafted an outrageously sarcastic letter filled with colorful insults, embodying their defiant and unyielding spirit.
