But the “Motherland”, the most significant and large in size artist’s canvas, is not easy to see: it is now… in Siberia, in the Omsk Regional Museum of Fine Arts. In 1911, this painting was exhibited at the World Exhibition in Rome.

Too obvious is the desire to scatter the legacy of Dubovsky in the cities and cities of our vast Fatherland so that his works can not already unite in one room. Now the works of Dubovsky have been revealed in more than 70 museums.
