Sergey Tyuninru.wikipedia.orgOh, these are some of my favorite illustrations for the novel. I've seen many different works by a wide range of artists, but it seems no one has ever viewed the novel quite like Sergey Tyunin did. His slightly psychedelic illustrations are found online as scanned pages from a book that was once published. Unfortunately, the quality of these scans is poor, and during the book's preparation for publication, parts of the illustrations were inexplicably cropped. However, thanks to the kindness of Sergey Petrovich, who sent me his works in their original form (a huge thank you to him, both from me personally and from all dedicated fans of the novel), we can now see these drawings as the artist originally intended them.
The hand of fate is a recurring motif throughout all the illustrations
(The picture shows the Patriarch's Ponds)
”He loudly and joyfully announced: ‘They're going to cut off your head!‘”
The Procurator of Judea and the wandering philosopher
Pilate announces the verdict
”I've just been run over by a tram at the Patriarch's Ponds. Funeral Friday, three p.m. Come. Berlioz.”
”He has appeared!” Bezdomny with a wedding candle catches the consultant
A content Behemoth on the tram's running board
Schizophrenia, just as he said. Poor Ivanushka's brain is boiling
Styopa Likhodeyev is thrown out to Yalta
News from Yalta
Ivan is sad in the asylum
The black magic show
Praise the rooster!
And this picture, in my opinion, is one of the best illustrations for the novel I've ever seen: the inevitability of the Master and Margarita's meeting
Koroviev's dollars
Ivan's split personality
The execution
Judas makes his way to his rendezvous with Nisa
The burial

An empty suit
Hella in a lace apron
Margarita's mansion
Azazello sidles up to Margarita in the Alexander Garden
Azazello's cream
Margarita smashes windows in the House of Dramlit while the doorman whistles
Woland's magic globe
Berlioz's skull filled with the blood of Baron Meigel
The Master's extraction
Behemoth on the chandelier
The end of the naughty apartment
The shadow of Woland's sword

“The storm had vanished without a trace, and an arc of multicolored rainbow spanned the whole of Moscow, drinking water from the Moscow River”
