     Over the years the love of art at a young sailor increased, which contributed significantly to the long overseas voyage, which provided rich material impressionable young artist.

     Survived several paintings and drawings Bogoliubov period of his cruises in the 40-ies ( "Fregat" zealous, "" The ship "Kamchatka", etc.). They are far from professional skills, but they are already there has been a deep and inquisitive at the beginning of the study of nature and life, that so typical of the entire multi-year creative activity the artist hierarchy.

On the hierarchy of paintings of this period gives a picture of the "steamer-frigate" Kamchatka "(1848, the Central Naval Museum, St. Petersburg). Conventionality of the composition and lighting, naive variegation of colors make this picture like a sketch of theatrical scenery from bouncing on the waves toy ships. It is not surprising that the young artist, attentive to detail but still very inexperienced and far from the skill, wrote imitative and is influenced by marin Aivazovsky, who was then in his zenith.
    

I want to draw attention to the fact that Bogolyubov in the 40-ies was still an artist-amateur. It is still an amateur with no formal art education. studies at the Academy of Arts, he will begin only in the 1849. Some of these selected works by the artist are just that period. I am confident that these activities result as proof of his insolvency incorrect, unfair and neproffesionalno. Accept the fact that for the amateur artist, these works were written perfectly.
