Expressing of the theme of the ideal being, the affecting unity in the divine harmony of the world and man was something that Ivanov worked on his entire artistic career. It was interpreted in many sketches and studies connected with the main work of his life, the painting The Coming of the Messiah, as well as works created in parallel to it.
