Canvases "The Hero", "The Swan Princess", illustrations to the works of Mikhail Lermontov, compositions inspired by the poetic images of Alexander Pushkin ("The Prophet", "The Six-Winged Seraphim") and Johann Wolfgang Goethe ("Faust") have become an integral part of Russian culture and are still a high standard and a true school for many generations of Russian artists and art connoisseurs.
