With the original “Rhinoceros” of the master of the Northern Renaissance, Plavinsky had the opportunity to get acquainted in his student years in the engraving office of the Pushkin Museum im. Pushkin. From that moment on, rhinos with turtles became the protagonists of the artist’s “theater of life”.
