In the last third of the 19th century, Pavel Zhukovsky was known in social and cultural circles. Due to the proximity to the Imperial Court, he did a lot for the development of art education and museum business in Russia. In addition, Zhukovsky was friends with many prominent people of his time, including Emperor Alexander III, writer Ivan Turgenev and composer Richard Wagner, having performed sketches of scenery and costumes for the first production of Wagner's opera Parsifal. The works of Pavel Zhukovsky bear the stamp of passion for painting of the Italian Renaissance, religious and antique themes.
