His talent drew the attention of the sculptor Pyotr Clodt, who arranged for him to audit classes at the Academy.[2] In 1850, he was able to become a regular student, and worked with Alexey Markov.[1] He graduated in 1853 and was awarded a stipend to study in Italy for his graduation painting, The Mother of God. The following year, he settled in Rome and established his own studio on Via Vittoria, near the Villa Borghese. He paid a long visit home from 1863 to 1865.[2] While there, the Academy awarded him a professorship in history painting for his depiction of Horace reading his satires to Gaius Maecenas.[1] He also came into contact with a group of dissident artists who would later be known as the Peredvizhniki; which inspired him to paint a series of genre works on peasant life.
