His masterpieces, such as "The Boyar Morozova" (1887), "Boyarynya Morozova" (1887), "The Village Chapel" (1880-1889), "Menshikov in Berezovo (a study)" (1881), "The Townswoman" (1902), "The Morning before the Execution" (1881), and "Taking the Little Snow-town" (1891), showcase his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of historical and everyday Russian life. Surikov's studies for "The Boyar Morozova" and "Menshikov in Berezovo" (both 1881) provide insight into his meticulous approach to creating detailed and evocative paintings. His larger-than-life depiction of Suvorov's March through the Alps (1799, 1899) showcases his ability to bring history to life with grandeur and drama. Surikov's impact on Russian art is undeniable, as evidenced by his enduring legacy and continued appreciation for his works.
