The article attempts to give a new interpretation to the painting “Dinner” by L.S. Bakst. The author claims that both the posture and the mimic gesture of the model are references to the ancient image of the sphinx and the “archaic smile”. The version is confirmed not only through a direct analysis of the model's posture, but also by contextualizing the motives of the painting in the works of Leon Bakst and the artists of his time. As an additional argument, the interpretation is given in the tradition of Carl Jung’s analytical psychology. The image of an insidious woman, according to the author, is the content of Bakst’s own “anima”, a structural component of his psyche. This idea is based on the material of the artist's biography and on comparing the painting "Dinner" with the decorative panel “Terror antiquus”.

This article shows the influence of the 18th-century art on the creativity of Russian jewellery companies in the second half of 19th – early 20th century. During the period of national style domination, the revision to 18th century is especially interesting. The art of this era in the perception of descendants became from complete rejection in the eyes of posterity to a total recognition of its originality, artistic individuality, and as a result national-identity. The latter entailed the use of cultural assets of 18th century as prototypes of gold and silver products created in late 19th – early 20th century because of nationality. The author analyses both works of Russian jewellery companies and documentary evidence demonstrating the attitude of contemporaries to an art culture of the 18th century.

The article is devoted to the role of copies and pastiche in the landscape genre in the second half of the 18th century. Typological and stylistic properties of replicas performed by landscape painting class students of the Imperial Academy of Arts allow us to identify a number of originals that served as samples for them and analyze the degree and characteristics of their interaction. Special attention is paid to the student works of A. Martynov. Assumptions are made about their possible sources, among which the most probable are the works of Charles François de Lacroix, who in his turn painted his views in the spirit of Joseph Vernet and Salvator Rosa.

This article discusses the main decorative principles of Castrum doloris for the Russian emperors in the 18th century. The author applies a complex method, which is based on the academic reconstruction of the once-grandiose mourning ensembles. In preparation for the burial of Peter the Great, a certain model of funeral decoration was created and was preserved in Russia throughout the 18th century. The design of mourning ensembles followed the general laws of the ceremonial culture of that period, and corresponded to the stylistic development of art. The article introduces new materials and factual data, and clarifies certain issues of terminology.

With the growth of the art works ‘exposition value’ (V. Benjamin) in the XX–XXI centuries, the contexts of their perception also change. Non-confessional religious art reveals its relevance in various exposition contexts: in the space of a church and church complex, in urban spaces, in diocesan and art museums. Special spaces for dialogue between church and art are also being created. A comparative analysis of foreign and Russian experience is based on a synchronous search for ways of interaction between art and religion. On the example of the activities of Christian churches, the author shows their recognition of the relevance of the formation of artistic competence.

Our contemporary Anatoly Chechik is one of the so called “clever” artists. His creations always contain cultural memory of the past and require deep and extensive intellectual background from the viewer for the understanding of semantic aspects of the artwork. The article considers the representation of Don Juan Tenorio – one of the eternal images of the world literature in digital art. In this Flash-theater experience the author analyzes, which of his archetypic traits are outdated and which are still actual. The new technology enables the artist to manipulate the art objects from different epochs and use them as actors of sorts, playing their roles depending on their original content. This way the artist-actionist-protogonist directs the dramaturgy of the action, opening the new meaning and showing the actuality of the eternal in today’s world.
