In the early 1900s, composer Sergei Rachmaninov corrects his masterpiece, Piano Concerto No. 3 in Ivanovka, showcasing his dedication to perfection. Traveling further back to the 1910s, we encounter Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin, an enigmatic figure who held great influence over the Russian Imperial Family during a tumultuous period. The Weird Sisters (The Three Witches), depicted by artist Fussli (Fuseli) around 1782, transport us to Shakespeare's Macbeth and its eerie supernatural elements that continue to captivate audiences today. Illustrating Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d Arthur is Aubrey Beardsley's hauntingly beautiful artwork from 1893-1894. It brings forth the legendary tales of King Arthur and his knights in all their glory and tragedy. John Martin's portrayal of Macbeth and Banquo encountering The Three Witches in 1849-1851 captures the dark allure of Shakespearean drama on canvas. Emperor Nicholas II and Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna grace another frame with their regal presence before meeting their tragic fate amidst political turmoil. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky stands alongside his wife Antonina Miliukova in a candid moment captured in 1877 - a glimpse into the personal life of one of history's greatest composers. The cellar of Ipatiev house looms ominously as a chilling reminder of the night when Russia's Imperial Family faced their untimely end at Yekaterinburg. Valery Chkalov meets Joseph Stalin; an anonymous artist immortalizes this historic encounter between two influential figures against a backdrop shrouded in secrecy.
