He developed a special artistic manner, allowing for a very small size of paintings to express the characteristic features of native nature, the picturesque richness of landscapes in France, Italy and Belgium. The exhibition provides an opportunity to penetrate the features of the author’s skill, to feel the perfection of his miniature painting. The most prominent critics of that time spoke of Pokhitonov as a phenomenal artist, a talent of a higher order.
