It has been analysed the activity of Mykhailo Boychuk in the period 1910 –1912, when the artist performed monumental paintings and easel icon painting works for the Studyts Monastery in Lviv on the street Petra Skargy, 2a (now Ozarkevicha St.). At this time the artist together with M. Kasperovych, S. Nalepinska, S. Beaudoin de Courtenay, G. Schramm and other representatives of his Parisian group worked on the frescoes of the chapel in the premises of thе monastery. The preserved works from the "Studio" collection include: "St. Nicholas" (1910), "St. Josaphat" (1910), "Jesus Christ" (1910s), "Covering of the Virgin" (1910) ("The Prophet Elijah" (1911), "The Last Supper" (1911) mosaic "St. John" (1910). The main type of Boychuk's artistic activity in 1910–1914 became religious painting. The artist revived forgotten techniques of tempera and frescoes, became a recognized restorer in the territory of Ukraine.
