Ilya Repin, Zaporizhzhya Cossacks 1878-1891.
The picture is also known as The Zaporizhzhya Cossacks Replying
to the Sultan.
According to legend, the letter was written in 1676 by the Koshev Ataman
Ivan Sirko in response to an ultimatum from Sultan
Mehmed (Mohammed) IV of the Ottoman Empire. At that time there was
a Russian-Turkish war of 1672-1681, and the sultan demanded in writing
from the Zaporizhian Sich to obey him, as hetman Petro Doroshenko did.
One day the historian Dmytro Yavornytsky read out a copy of this letter to his
guests, among whom was Ilya Repin.
The artist became interested in the subject and in 1880 began his first
series of sketches.
