Mir iskusstva
Three years later while in Versailles, Benois painted a series of watercolors depicting "Last Promenades of Louis XIV". When exhibited by Pavel Tretyakov in 1897, they brought him to attention of Sergei Diaghilev and the artist Léon Bakst. Together the three men founded the art magazine and movement "Mir iskusstva" (World of Art), which promoted the Aesthetic Movement and "Art Nouveau" in Russia.
