A commission for a watercolour of the coronation of Nicholas II
In early 1896 Serov received a lucrative commission for the watercolour “The Anointing of the Emperor” for the art album of the coronation of Nicholas II; it gave him the right to attend the coronation on 26 May in the Dormition Cathedral, and the work was due by 1 May 1897.
1896
His first exhibition abroad, in Munich
Serov’s works were shown abroad for the first time, at a private exhibition in Munich (the Secession); at the end of the year he received invitations to take part in exhibitions in Munich, Stockholm and Copenhagen.
1897
Takes the life-drawing studio despite an earlier refusal
In late summer 1897 Serov accepted the offer to run the life-drawing studio at the Moscow School of Painting, although in 1894 he had written to Chistyakov that he did not like teaching and had turned down such an offer. His pupils included Kuznetsov, Sapunov, Saryan, Petrov-Vodkin, Ulyanov and Yuon; Levitan began teaching at the school at the same time.
