Abstract

The subject of the study is the work of I. A. Vsevolozhsky as the creator of ballet costumes. The costumes created by I. A. Vsevolozhsky at the end of the 19th — beginning of the 20th century (1890–1904) for the premiere productions of ballets by M. I. Petipa ("The Trial of Damis", "The Romance of a Rosebud and a Butterfly", "The Sleeping Beauty" and "The Nutcracker"), preserved in the St. Petersburg State Museum of Theater and Musical Art and the sketch-drawings of those costumes, which are stored in the St. Petersburg State Theater Library. Some sketches by I. A. Vsevolozhsky are considered and published for the first time. Based on the results of the study of costumes and their sketches for four ballets by Petipa, conclusions were drawn about the significance of I. A. Vsevolozhsky and his influence both on the evolution of the ballet costume of the era of academism, and on its subsequent development in the scenography of the XX century, first of all the works of "World of Art" artists.
