In 1863 Maksimov entered the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts volunteer, and in 1864 became a member of the Artistic team, led by P. A. Krestonoscy. Artel was organized" для collaboration and life" like the farm I. N. Kramskoy, but lasted just over a year.

The atmosphere of post-reform villages, the decomposition of the Patriarchal life, showed Maximov in the work" Семейный section" (1876), depicting the division of property between two brothers. Self-interest and greed, on the one hand, and vulnerability and gentleness — on the other. This eternal theme is particularly strongly expressed in female images: a bereft and cheated the younger daughter-in-law, in whose appearance was affected by the tradition of poetic feminine types he used, the artist has contrasted the greedy and foolish wife of his older brother."
