Vasily Surikov’s and Piotr Konchalovsky’s kinship, the kinship of representatives of different generations of Russian art and various creative aspirations, is considered in the aspect of creative interconnections and in the context of the cultural processes of the early 20th century. Here it should be remembered their similar modus vivendi, and joint trips to Siberia, Surikovʼs homeland, to Krasnoyarsk, and also to Europe – Germany, or France, Spain; common views on classics; their joint work at the art studio of H. Anglada Camarasa in Paris and their sketches done while traveling.

Caravaggio (1571–1610) chronologically opens (or prepares) the new stage of art history known as Modernity. He must be finally ranked among the troublemakers – the aesthetic and socio-cultural rebels of this era. This idea belongs to Russian art historians Evsey Rotenberg and Marina Sviderskaya and explores Caravaggio’s artistic development from early stages of “nasty anecdotes” to mature works on biblical themes treated in a challenging manner.

The article focuses on the exhibition activities of the Russian Academy of Arts after the reorganization of the USSR Academy of Arts in 1992. The author analyzes how new expositional principles of showing modern artistic practices connected with Russian art tradition were developed during that difficult transition period. Among them one can single out exhibitions dedicated to the creative heritage of famous dynasties of Russian artists (including the Vasnetsovs, Zhilinsky, Rukavishnikovs, etc.). The development of the Academy exhibition activities was closely connected with the preparation of its exhibition halls which required restoration and the opening of the adjacent Zurab Tsereteli Art Gallery.

The article gives an analytical review of the visual poetics of the works of Mir iskusstva (World of Art) artistic group in the context of the relationship of the innovative features of the Art Nouveau with the Past. The perception of Time through the images of Art, inherent in the symbolist worldview, is considered as one of the main sources that gives the retrospective dreams of the leading World of Art masters the character of a subjectively significant poetic longing for an ideal. Nostalgia for the imaginary past, the appropriation of its artistic reality to its own inner world, led the artists of the group to the path of turning a “quote” into a “self-citation”, a “sample” into an “image”, a “copy” into a “likeness”. This process expanded the semantic component of the artistic language, opening up new possibilities for the synthesis of the past and the presentin the creative practice of the first third of the 20th century.

Islamic art is multifaceted and has a great history in fine arts. Religious art, including Islamic themes, is closely intertwined with culture, philosophy, religious knowledge and especially with the history of our country. Let us consider the specific form of Muslim art that has existed since ancient times: shamail, a peculiar phenomenon of Islamic culture and an important part of religious and aesthetic consciousness. Shamail is an art form as a carrier of written Quranic content – texts in the form of a sura from the Holy Quran with particular design consisting of images of mosques or fortresses, ornaments or birds, images of a tree or an ark and some others.

The icon painter Alexander Ivanovich Chashkin is a disciple of the great master Archimandrite Zinon (Theodore). However, Chashkin creates his own individual world in his work, where the Byzantine artistic tradition is reinterpreted and presented to us as a deeply original version of its interpretation. Thus, the modern Greeks, recognizing the Byzantine basis of his iconography, testify to the specialness of his artistic language within the framework of the artist's personal world. A great role in the formation of Alexander Chashkin's work was played by the spiritual essence of icon painting, which he received from the nun Juliania (Sokolova). In his icons, Mr. Chashkin combines the external beauty of the image with a deep inner content.

In the decoration of the Archangel Cathedral the composition Saturday of All Saints has a central place in the painting of the western wall. It is a continuation of the theme Credo, presented in the northern and southern vertical parts of the facade of the temple, revealing a visual picture of the life of the saints in Paradise, as the culminating part of the cycle. The place of honour chosen for it is due to the idea of a cathedral, where funeral services for the deceased princes were constantly performed. The composition of the Archangel Cathedral contributed to the rooting of the tradition in the royal family to place the icon Saturday of All Saints in the iconostases above the princesʼ tombs.
