Введение
Александр Николаевич Бенуа (Александр Николаевич Бенуа; 3 мая 1870 [по ст. ст. 21 апреля 1870] – 9 февраля 1960) – русский художник, искусствовед, историк, специалист по охране памятников и один из основателей объединения «Мир искусства», художественного движения и журнала. В качестве художника-постановщика «Русских балетов» под руководством Сергея Дягилева, Бенуа оказал значительное влияние на развитие современного балета и сценографии. Иллюстрации из этого издания были представлены в видеоролике на церемонии открытия зимних Олимпийских игр в Сочи в 2014 году. В 1901 году Бенуа был назначен главным художником Мариинского театра в Санкт-Петербурге, основной площадки для Императорского русского балета. В 1905 году он переехал в Париж и посвятил большую часть времени работе над оформлением спектаклей и декорациями. Александр играл ключевую роль в русской художественной жизни как до, так и после революции. Анна всегда была рядом с ним, и её присутствие хорошо запомнилось в художественных кругах, о чём неоднократно упоминали такие художники, как Мстислав Добужинский. Она была натурщицей для Леона Бакста, Валентина Серова, Зинаиды Серебряковой и других. Среди известных членов семьи:

As a designer for the Ballets Russes under Sergei Diaghilev, Benois exerted what is considered a seminal influence on the modern ballet and stage design. Illustrations from this volume were featured at a video presentation during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014. In 1901, Benois was appointed scenic director of the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, the performance space for the Imperial Russian Ballet. He moved to Paris in 1905 and thereafter devoted most of his time to stage design and decor. Alexandre played a central role in the Russian artistic community both before and after the Revolution. Anna was always by his side. Her presence was positively remembered in the artistic circles with several mentions by artist like Mstislav Dobuzhinsky. She was a model painted by Léon Bakst, Valentin Serov, Zinaida Serebriakova, and others. Notable family members include:
Alexandre's son, Nicola Alexandrovich Benois (also known as Nikolai Benois), was born in 1901, and went on to become a celebrated opera designer, creating costumes and sets for opera companies all over the world.
