The painting has been returned to the permanent exhibition in Hall 29 of the Tretyakov Gallery in Lavrushinsky Lane.
“What you see today is the result of four years of work, which was aimed not only at compensating for the most serious losses as a result of the attack, but also this painting had serious, chronic preservation problems,” Tregulova said during a press conference. RIA Novosti reports.
On May 26, 2018, a native of Voronezh, Igor Podporin, while visiting the Tretyakov Gallery, delivered several blows to the painting "Ivan the Terrible and his son Ivan", painted by Repin in 1885.
The cost of restoration is estimated at about 20 million rubles.
Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow sentenced Podporin to two and a half years in prison.
During the restoration, the painting had to be duplicated, transferred to a new base and the old layer of glue removed from it.
