Aladdin and the Magic Lamp

The magical world of Eastern fairy tales captivates and beckons, like the sound of an ancient lute. Exciting stories of enchanted caves, magic lamps, and flying carpets — the most famous tales of the «One Thousand and One Nights» — were illustrated by the remarkable St. Petersburg artist Alexey Dmitrievich Reipolsky.
Over decades of creative activity, Alexey Dmitrievich has proven himself to be a very versatile artist, working in various forms and techniques of visual art. However, he gained wide fame and recognition primarily as a master of book illustration. His works are kept in many museums across the country, including the State Hermitage, the State Russian Museum, as well as in private collections in Russia and abroad.
