Street in Tiflis 1881

"Street in Tiflis" is a small oil painting on canvas by Ilya Repin, completed in 1881. Repin, a renowned Russian realist painter, captured the beauty of the Georgian capital city, Tiflis (now Tbilisi), with a distinct focus on the architectural elements of a bustling street. The composition features a narrow street lined with buildings, showcasing a perspective that draws the viewer's eye deep into the scene. The artwork's vibrant colors, loose brushstrokes, and impressionistic style are characteristic of Repin's later works and provide a glimpse into the daily life of a city on the crossroads of East and West.
