Vasilisa Melentieva (d. 1579) was the sixth wife of Ivan the Terrible (1530-1584). Tsar Ivan the Terrible Admiring Vasilisa Melentieva (1875) is the most important and most famous work by the artist Grigory Sedov (1836-1884), who took his inspiration from the play Vasilisa Melentieva (1868) by Alexander Ostrovsky (1823-1886). The original work is today in the collection of the State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg.
