The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.

Szenen aus dem Leben des Propheten Elias
Scenes from the life of prophet Elijah. Russia
H 32, W 24 cm.
In general the composition of the Elijah icons is arranged as can be seen here: in the middle the prophet in a cave being fed with bread by a raven, above the Ascension Elijah's in a cloud of fire, where he drops his cloak to his follower Eliseus. With the miraculous help of the same cloak both men cross the river Jordan with dry feet at the lower right. An angel waking Elijah to provide him with food and drink at the lower left, above the burnt offering of Elijah, crowned by God on a bank of clouds.
The story of prophet Elijah is a very common subject in the painting of icons. After a popular Russian belief, every family having such an icon in their house will always be blessed with enough bread.

Der Bildaufbau der Eliasikonen ist im Allgemeinen - wie hier zu sehen - folgendermaßen gestaltet: Mittig der Prophet in einer Höhle, von einem Raben mit Brot versorgt, oben die Himmelfahrt Elias' in einer Feuerwolke, dabei wirft er seinem Jünger Eliseus seinen Mantel herunter mit dessen wundersamer Hilfe sie beide unten rechts trockenen Fußes den Jordan überqueren. Unten links weckt ein Engel den Propheten, um ihm Speise und Trank zu bringen. Oben links das Brandopfer des Elias, bekrönt von Gottvater auf einer Wolkenbank.
Die Geschichte des Propheten Elias ist ein sehr beliebtes Sujet in der Ikonenmalerei. Nach einem russischen Volksglauben soll jede Familie, die eine solche Ikone im Haus hat, immer mit genügend Brot gesegnet sein.
