Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, a renowned Russian composer, was not only a master of music but also an influential figure in the world of art and design. In this captivating portrait from 1864, we see Madame Rimsky-Korsakov, nee Varvara Dmitrievna Mergassov, exuding elegance and grace. Her beauty is further enhanced by the exquisite headgear designed for Ida Rubinstein in the ballet Scheharazade in 1910. Rimsky-Korsakov's talent extended beyond composing as he also dabbled in costume design. This stunning costume design for Scheharazade showcases his creativity and attention to detail. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns transport us into a mesmerizing world of fantasy. In this black-and-white photograph, we catch a glimpse of Rimsky-Korsakov alongside Glazunov, another prominent composer of their time. Their camaraderie is palpable as they discuss their shared passion for music. Ilya Repin's painting "Sadko" immortalizes Sadko, one of Rimsky-Korsakov's most beloved heroes. The oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of Sadko's journey through enchanting melodies that have captivated audiences for generations. This engraving beautifully portrays Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov himself - his intense gaze reflecting his dedication to his craft. His contributions to classical music continue to resonate with audiences worldwide. The illustration for Alexander Pushkin's Fairytale of the Tsar Saltan transports us into a whimsical realm where imagination knows no bounds - just like Rimsky-Korsakov's compositions themselves. "The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh, " painted between 1917-22 by an unknown artist, depicts one of Rimsky-Korsakov's most ambitious works brought to life on canvas. The ethereal landscape evokes emotions that mirror those felt while listening to his music.
