Abstract
The article considers the question of the genesis of the image of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna in the perception and art of Alexander Benois. The author used a complex method which combined the source analysis of artist’s works and memoires, his articles on the history of architecture, and traditional formal analysis of his works and data of historiography of the reign of Elizabeth Petrovna. It was found out the official portraits of Louis Caravaque and portrait of G.C. Grooth influenced the image of Elizabeth in Benois works. Benois views on the work of F.B. Rastrelli whose work he considered the embodiment of the reign of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna.
