Italian artist Iker Spozio is one of those readers for whom The Master and Margarita became a favorite book. Here are his fifteen illustrations for the first fifteen chapters—one print per chapter. We’ll have to wait for the rest: the artist has paused the project for lack of time but hopes to return to it. All the images are hand‑pulled woodcuts, made entirely without digital tools—an almost exotic approach nowadays.
Never talk to strangers
Pontius Pilate
The seventh proof
The chase
It happened at Griboedov’s
Schizophrenia, as foretold
The naughty apartment
The duel between the professor and the poet
Koroviev’s tricks
News from Yalta
Ivan’s split
Black magic and its exposure
The hero’s appearance
Glory to the rooster!
Nikanor Ivanovich’s dream
