Petrovs research is dedicated to one of the largest Russian sculptors of the second half of the 18th century. A comprehensive and in depth study of the sculptural and graphic heritage of M. I. Kozlovsky, the wide use of archival and special literary sources that distinguish the work are especially valuable, since until now there has not been a single fundamental monograph on the work of this outstanding master.
