"Portrait of Vladimir Vasilievich Stasov" is a notable oil painting by the eminent Russian realist artist Ilya Efimovich Repin, created in 1881. The work is one of two portraits Repin painted of Stasov, a prominent Russian art historian and music critic, who played a pivotal role in the intellectual life of St. Petersburg in the 19th century. Stasov was a key figure in the Russian cultural renaissance of that time, advocating for the importance of national spirit in art and supporting many of the era's great artists and composers, including Repin himself.

The portrait is a testament to Repin's masterful skill in capturing the character and essence of his subjects. It depicts Stasov at the age of 70, rendered with a penetrating gaze that reflects his intellectual vigor and critical acumen. The sitter's presence is commanding, with Repin's use of chiaroscuro emphasizing the textures of Stasov's face and the depth of his expression. The composition and color palette are subdued, directing the viewer's focus to the sitter's face and hands, which are portrayed with meticulous detail and psychological depth.

This work is significant not only as an example of Repin's portraiture but also as a historical document of Russian cultural life. It captures the likeness of a man who was deeply influential in shaping the artistic and musical landscape of Russia. The portrait is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as a representation of the cultural milieu of the time.

The "Portrait of Vladimir Vasilievich Stasov" is housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, a testament to its cultural and historical importance. It remains an important work for scholars studying Repin, Stasov, and the broader context of Russian art and criticism in the late 19th century.
