The suite was written in honor of his friend, Vladimir Hartmann, a painter, who died at the age of 39.The musical pieces in "Pictures at an Exhibition" try to capture in music the sketches, watercolors and architectural designs that were shown publicly at the Hartmann exhibition along with other canvasses that Hartmann had shown Mussorgsky.Thus the term, "Where Music and Art Meet" is used to describe Pictures at an Exhibition.

Pictures at an Exhibition was first a piano work by Modest Mussorgsky, which was composed by him upon hearing of the passing of his friend the painter of the works. It was then orchestrated by Ravel a number of years earlier. Each work describes a different picture, as if they were seen at an exhibition in a gallery. One of them describes the little hut on chicken legs, and is from a Russian folk tale, "The hut of Baba Yaga". The last one is the most dramatic and presents us with the "Great gates of Kiev", the capitol city of the Ukraine.
