The publication is equipped with an extensive reference apparatus and includes a bibliography, exhibition history, a detailed chronicle of the master's life and work, information about his students, a genealogical tree of the Bryullov family, and photographs from the family archive. Many works and documents are being introduced into scholarly circulation for the first time. The book is addressed to art historians, collectors, and museum workers, as well as a wide range of readers interested in Russian culture and history. Natalia Kalugina
