Career Before The Revolution
After returning to Russia, Lanceray joined Mir iskusstva, an influential Russian art movement inspired by an artistic journal of the same name, founded in 1899, in Saint Petersburg. Other prominent members of Mir iskusstva included Lanceray's uncle Alexandre Benois, Konstantin Somov, Walter Nouvel, Léon Bakst, and Dmitry Filosofov.
Like other members of Mir iskusstva, he was fascinated with the "sparkling dust" of Rococo art, and often turned to 18th century Russian history and art for inspiration.
