Yuriy Chistyakovartnow.ruYuriy Georgievich Chistyakov was born in 1931 in Ulan-Ude. He graduated from the Moscow Architectural Institute.
Chistyakov was a versatile artist: in addition to architectural works, he produced studio graphic art and worked in watercolor, tempera, ink, pastel, and oil. He created a number of cycles on historical and religious themes (for example, The Tale of Igor’s Campaign and Adam and Eve). He also devoted considerable attention to book illustration—of Pushkin, Blok, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Cervantes, and Apuleius. And here are several of his works for the novel The Master and Margarita, created between 1986 and 1998.

Woland surveying Moscow
Woland and Behemoth
The same two—with Koroviev
Once again
And now—a group portrait
Let’s turn to the Yershalaim storyline. Here is Pontius Pilate
And here he is with Yeshua
And with his only friend
Thirty tetradrachms
Crucifixion
Back to Moscow. Margarita riding a sweeping-brush
Or this way
Invisible and free!
And Natasha riding a boar
Woland’s famous globe
Woland’s retinue leaves Moscow
And once more—a close‑up
Is this Judas and the members of the Sanhedrin?
Judas and Yeshua
Apparently, Judas again
