Konstantin Andreyevich Somov (1869 ndash; 1939) was a Russian artist associated with the Mir iskusstva. Somov studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts under Ilya Repin from 1888 to 1897. While at the Academy; he befriended Alexandre Benois; who would introduce him to Sergei Diaghilev and Leacute;on Bakst. When the three founded the World of Art; Somov liberally contributed to its periodicals. Somov was homosexual; like many of the World of Art members. Inspired by Watteau and Fragonard; he preferred to work with watercolours and gouache. During the 1910s; Somov executed a number of rococo harlequin scenes and illustrations to the poems by Alexander Blok. Many of his works were exhibited abroad; especially in Germany; where the first monograph on him was published in 1909.
