Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan on 16 November 1581 is a painting by Russian realist artist Ilya Repin made between 1883 and 1885. It depicts the very sad Russian tsar Ivan the Terrible holding his dying son, the Tsarevich Ivan Ivanovich, shortly after the elder Ivan had hit his son's head in a fit of anger. The painting shows the anguish and remorse on the face of the elder Ivan and the gentleness of the dying Tsarevich, forgiving his father with his tears.
