The exhibition is themed Vrubel and Kyiv as the Russian artist spent several years of his life in the Ukrainian capital (1884-1889) and created some of his best works: Angel with Censer and Candle, The Oriental Tale, and Girl Against a Persian Carpet Background. In Kyiv Vrubel first began his work on the image of the devil.
