I’ve been looking at some of the bg paints for dragon striker by Aurelien Lafon (source here) and this one bg from Dino’s house caught my attention

Where is this painting from?

I’m not an expert at art history but it looks like something from the French realism movement from the mid 1800’s. Does anyone recognise it and know where it’s from? This is going to bother me now

EDIT:

Shoutout to @kal-asterock for finding it almost instantly lol

It is Barge Haulers on the Volga by Ilya Repin. It is from the realism movement but it is not French it is Russian.

Now I’m curious why it’s this specific painting

Description

Nicolas de Largillière was among the most highly esteemed and prolific portrait painters working in the time of Louis XIV of France, and his popularity continued through the period of the regency that followed Louis’s death in 1715. His portraits were admired for their deftly rendered textures and for the confident poses that lent a sense of grandeur and ease to the sitters.
