"Zaporozhian Cossack" is a renowned oil painting by the Russian artist Ilya Efimovich Repin, depicting a scene inspired by the historical anecdote of the Zaporozhian Cossacks sending a defiant reply to an ultimatum from the Ottoman Sultan. Repin, born in 1844 in Chuguyev, in the Kharkov Governorate of the Russian Empire (present-day Ukraine), was a leading figure in Russian realist art and is best known for his profound psychological depth and narrative power.

The painting, officially titled "Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mehmed IV of the Ottoman Empire," was created between 1880 and 1891. It showcases Repin's masterful use of color, composition, and character portrayal. The artwork captures the Cossacks' boisterous and irreverent drafting of a letter in response to the Sultan's demand for their submission, filled with humor and derision. This historical event, which supposedly took place in 1676, has been immortalized through Repin's canvas as a symbol of Ukrainian national pride and resistance against oppression.

Repin's work is characterized by its vivid depiction of the Cossacks' expressions and the dynamic scene of camaraderie and rebellion. The painting is a testament to the artist's ability to convey a complex narrative and emotion through his detailed brushwork and understanding of human character. "Zaporozhian Cossack" is not only a significant piece of art in Repin's oeuvre but also an important cultural artifact reflecting the spirit of the Ukrainian Cossack legacy.

The painting is held in high esteem and is often cited as one of Repin's masterpieces. It is housed in the State Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, where it continues to attract visitors and scholars interested in Russian art, history, and the cultural heritage of the Cossack people.
