The magical world of oriental fairy tales enchants and beckons like the sound of an ancient lute. Captivating stories of enchanted caves, magic lamps, and flying carpets — the most famous tales from "One Thousand and One Nights" — have been illustrated by the remarkable St. Petersburg artist Alexei Dmitrievich Reypolsky.
Over decades of creative work, Alexei Dmitrievich has proven himself a highly versatile artist, working in various forms and techniques of fine art. However, he gained widespread fame and recognition primarily as a master of book illustration. His works are held in many of the country's museums, including the State Hermitage Museum and the State Russian Museum, as well as in private collections in Russia and abroad.
