The Barge Haulers on the Volga (1873) is a oil on canvas painting made by Ilya Repin, that depicts a group of barge haulers moving a barge filled with wealthy people inside of them. The focus that the artist had was on the gap of wealth, because these people aren’t rich like the barge owners, they are treated less than human and laughed at by the affluent people in the boat.
