The Tretyakov Gallery owns the exclusive rights to the graphic heritage of Alexander Andreyevich Ivanov (1806–1858) that includes more than 700 individual sheets and approximately 40 albums. The abundant collection provides for several successive expositions, each being a mini-exhibition.

The exhibition «Alexander Ivanov. On the Way to the Temple» contains sketches of the unfulfilled altarpiece image “The Resurrection of Christ” for the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow that were painted in 1845, as well as drawings created between 1846 and 1848 inspired by scenes from the Old Testament (entitled as the «Protobiblical Sketches»). The prepared compositions demonstrate the artist’s novel attitude to religious paintings and to monumental art. They became a certain prologue to the master’s unique cycle of «Biblical Sketches».
