From 1854 Bogoljubow toured Europe and worked with various artists such as Alexander Iwanow and Andreas Achenbach . With the latter ("Father Andrej") he studied from 1854 to 1856 and 1860 to 1862. In Paris he also became close friends with Camille Corot and Daubigny before he returned to Russia in 1860. In the following time he traveled to the Volga region. His painting style changed from romantic to realism . In the mid-1860s, Bogolyubov stayed in Düsseldorf again . During this time he worked on history pictures depicting the battles of Peter the Great against the Swedes. He was a member of the Düsseldorf artists' association Malkasten from 1859/60 to 1869. The Russian Art Academy accepted him in 1871 and appointed him professor. From the 1870s onwards, Bogolyubov had increased contact with the Peredwischniki group, which elected him to be a member of the board. He remained aloof from the group's social ideas and finally left the Peredwischniki in 1873 and moved to Paris.

In Saratov he opened the Radishchev Art Museum, named after his grandfather Alexander Radishchev, in 1885 . Bogolyubov died in Paris on February 3, 1896. He bequeathed his fortune to the museum and the painting school attached to it.
