What's 2:22 and 2:49?

[vereiana]

@yippedoodah This is - Mark Chagall: Backcloth for the Ballet "The Firebird" (1949)

@vereiana Sorry, I didn't find about painter of the image on 2:22 but these are mermaids. In Russian folklore they don't have tale fin and seem normal girls..

Whoa, what's that creature in the water in :33? It looks so cool.

[vereiana]

@Vampirategirl  :) Thank you. Водяной - Wodiyanoy (crowberry, water grandfather, water clown vodovik) (chesh. vodník, Serbo-Lusatian. Wodby muž, wodnykus, Slovenes. Povodnj, vodni mož, etc.) - is the spirit of Slavic mythology, living in the water, the owner of water. The embodiment of the element of water as a negative and dangerous principle.

So beautiful - I would love to know who the different illustrators are - I recognize Bilibin, but would love to know the others.....
