The World in Images - Ukraine: A War of Symbols
Description
Artist Émeric Lhuisset's reinterpretation of a famous 1891 painting is part of a memory war between Russia and Ukraine. His photograph has gone viral: Ukrainians have appropriated it in their ongoing struggle with Russia.
Taken on 1 September 2023, it is a reinterpretation of Ilya Repine's famous painting. The painter's canvas is claimed by Russia and Ukraine. When Émeric Lhuisset revisited it into a photograph, it quickly went viral among the Ukrainian population, given the symbolic value of the image.
The artist behind the photograph, Émeric Lhuisset, explains its origin. Art historian Philippe Dagen discusses the major works that have been the subject of political, cultural and heritage rivalries.
