In the fall of 1910 at an exhibition of Russian paintings in London was presented last picture Kryzhitsky – The smell of spring. On this canvas with amazing subtlety messaging is featured pre-spring atmosphere. Blue shadows on the melted snow, mighty oaks, bathing in the rays of the winter sun … Looking at the picture, you feel joyful anticipation of heat.Shortly after the show one of the St. Petersburg newspapers – for the sake of cheap sensationalism – accused Kryzhitsky of plagiarism. Unjustly accuse was obvious to all. But the artist was not able to survive the insult and on the night of April 4, 1911 committed suicide. Konstantin Kryzhitsky left a great legacy that survived mainly in museums of Russian and eastern Ukrainian provincial cities, Samara, Saratov, Kharkov, Petrozavodsk."
