Abstract: By analyzing the artist (the creator Surikov), ideas (creative concepts), and the cultural shifts (specific historical context) on "The Noblewoman Morozova", one of his Historical Trilogy, this paper explores the relationship between the artist's artistic creation and multiple elements such as social and cultural factors. It aims to understand the individual's emotional struggle depicted in the painting, as well as the depicted tensions and the test of human nature it implies.

Key words: Surikov; The Noblewoman Morozova
