He was a member of the Society of Traveling Exhibitions from 1873. From 1853, Boholiubov was an artist of the Main Naval Staff.

He created a series of paintings on the history of the Russian fleet ("The Battle of Gangut", 1876, "The Battle of Krasnaya Gorka", etc.). He died on October 27 (November 7), 1896 in Paris. His works are kept in many museums in Russia, Ukraine and abroad.
