Emeric Lhuisset presents a contemporary version of a 19th-century work by Ilya Repin that frames it in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine
The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam now describes the abstract painter as Ukrainian, while The Met reclassifies other painters who were born or worked in the country
The work was temporarily rehung for press, but the public will have to wait until a bulletproof "protective capsule" can be installed
Visitors of a certain age may well be shocked to find that ultimately the Russian artist loathed the Bolsheviks as much as he did the tsars
