The Tales of Belkin

In 1830, Russia was engulfed by a cholera outbreak. The road to Moscow was closed due to quarantine, and Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin found himself in forced seclusion at the estate of Bolshye Boldino. "Bolshaya Osen'" will go down in history as the most productive creative period of the writer. In three months, he created about fifty works, including the famous "Tales of Belkin". Among the countless artists who illustrated the cycle of stories, the watercolors of Vladimir Alekseyevich Milashevsky hold a special place.
