In the paintings Vereshchagin revived the great past of India: ancient temples, luxurious palaces, majestic tombs.
Fascinated by the beautiful mausoleum of the Taj Mahal, built by the Great Mogul Shah Jahan on the grave of his beloved wife, Vereshchagin creates a surprisingly colorful canvas.
A magical beauty works in harmony in the picture with the same beautiful southern nature. “In Europe, there is nothing that can surpass the Taj, it is a place breathing with solemn calmness,” wrote Vereshchagin, full of admiration.
