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

Nach einer Legende erschien die Gottesmutter im Jahre 1579 in Kasan mehrmals einem Mädchen im Traum und beauftragte sie, öffentlich zu verkünden, wo ihre wundertätige Ikone vergraben sei. Als dem Mädchen niemand glaubte, grub es selbst an der Stelle und fand die Ikone, welche in die Kathedrale gebracht wurde und in den folgenden Jahren etliche Wunder bewirkte. Nach dieser berühmten Ikone entstand der Bildtypus der Kasanskaja.
