What tortured thoughts lie behind these eyes?

>a Russian
>thoughts
Pick one.

I built this great empire and now it shall fall into german hands

It's just how he always looked.

>"My mother was a taylor"

>SPEND YOUR LIFE IN SIN AND MISERY

>"She sewed my blue jeans"

>oh shit i just killed my son

>Shit I just sat on my keys

His rage got the better of him in an argument and accidentally killed his son with a cane or something.
At least that's how it's told..
Quite tragic really..

>be me
>be sociopath
>be despot
>be mentally ill
>be a drunkard
>have kids
>murder one of them in cold blood because I can't control my feels
Yeah, "tragic".

What part of that isn't tragic?

He doesn't understand tragedy in the dramatic sense. His corners are too sharp to not troll.

>The elder Ivan immediately threw himself at his son, kissing his face and trying to stop the bleeding, whilst repeatedly crying, "May I be damned! I've killed my son! I've killed my son!" The younger Ivan briefly regained consciousness and was reputed to have said "I die as a devoted son and most humble servant".
The Tsar never recovered, died 2 years later, in deep depression.
>ya, tragic

>cold blood
Do you know what the phrase "killed in cold blood" means? It means to be killed by a calm person. Someone who planned that murder.
If he did kill his son during a bout of intense ager during an argument, that'd be a hot-blooded murder.

>i just killed my (6/6/6) heir...

Kek

Send for a trained medicus

This is propaganda, he didn't kill his son

He probably didn't kill his son.

explain

Liquor cabinet is empty

>Shit, I left the oven on, didn't I?

>And that fucking comet event again...

>In the arms of lord i find solace

Few paintings have captured the emotion of a moment quite like this one

Srsly, how are people missing that? This image captures the devastation of a man who killed his own purpose in life.

Absolutely.
Only the footage of Jackie Kennedy desperately grabbing at pieces of JFK's brain reflect such horror.

has any other painting managed to inspire the amount of feels as this painting has?

>It's the economy, fools!

>oh nooo my game crashed!!!!

but he did tho

bamp

Damn my soul to hell, I killed my son, I killed my son.

look at how the son lightly grips on the arm of the father
dammit

He realized what he had done,what he had become and got a brief glimpse of Russia's future.

*unsheaves dog head and broom stick*
Nothin personel kid

> my line has ended!

Saw this piece in museum myself, quite a sight actually.

Nuuuu blyaaat

>ivan was a faggot
No

Off topic, but I can't get over how much Ivan looks like Michael Rosen in this painting. Is it just me? Am I just seeing things?

I have always thought this. Finally someone else sees it

>I just blew on my son
>until he was cool
>just cool
>*cloop*
>nICE

>Ivan wasn't a highly devout and pious man

Duh...i killed my son. Bart. wake uppppppp

What dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty?
