Referring to the problem of “citation” in fine arts of the 18th century, the discussion invariably arises about author’s originality and imitation. In Russia, a tradition of respect for the model is reflected in the nature of “citation” as part of the imitating of nature. First, fine arts, like engraving, have to use models, and so acquired the right to independence. Second, artists using models often demonstrated joining the most requested ideas embodied by reputable masters of various epochs. At times it leads to some kind of paraphrasis to a significant pronomination, which enhanced the prestige of an author and national art school. In addition, it was a symptom of the metamorphosis of the “borrowed” into one’s “own” as a necessary part of a creative process.

The diversity of topics and ideas in the art of Ilya Repin (1844–1930) has long been seen as a result of the artist’s changeability, the inconsistency of his views and the suddenness of his creative talent. Therefore, it is important to show the integrity of Repin’s artistic world and to discover a certain foundation for his professional activity. This article traces the artist’s path from the early academician work “The raising of Jairus’ daughter” to one of his late paintings, “The Golgotha”. If you try to assess a vast number of Repin’s picture motifs you’ll see that over the whole course of his professional career he was working step by step on the subject of life and death, demonstrating interest in the meanings of human existence. These aspects worried the painter in connection not only with Gospel subjects but also with historical pictures and portraits.

In its heydays, Yaroslavl art expanded its range of literary sources. The composition of Ioanniky Galyatovsky “Nebo Novoe” (“New Heaven”) was very popular. The miracle of St Thomas Becket of Canterbury, in which the Virgin tells him of her rapture in Heaven, became an iconographic subject. In Yaroslavl art this theme can be found in several versions, both in icons and in monumental painting. It is believed that the theme appeared and was developed in the school of Yaroslavl icon painter Feodor Ignatiev. Currently, this plot has not been identified in other centres of art.

The paper shows the influence of the European engravings on the Russian book illustrations. The object of the study are European and Russian 18th-century illustrations for Ovid’s Metamorphoses. As a result of the comparison, prototypes of illustrations for the Russian edition of Ovid of 1794–1795 were identified as engravings from a similar Dutch edition of 1732. The results of a comparison of a number of sketches of the Russian manuscript “Ovid Metamorphoses with Illustrations” of 1796 and the engravings of the French edition of “Metamorphoses” of 1767–1771 are given. The methods of copying and transformation of European prints are analyzed. The author proves creative nature of the interpretation of European samples by Russian engravers and draftsmen of the academic school.

Ilya Repin wrote, “Matejko had a great national soul, he could as a painter express his love to his compatriots boldly and just to the point”. This statement can be attached to Surikov’s creative activity as well. Unfortunately, the researchers of Surikov’s works have to realize that painter’s secluded lifestyle obviously led to an insufficient number of letters and memoirs. The information on the Polish artist Jan Matejko is more extensive though he also was a recluse in his life. The author of the article pays special attention to Italy, and its role in private and artistic life of Surikov and Matejko. Both represented Slavonic culture, both were adherents to historical painting, and, moreover, had much in common as for their tempers, existential and creative principles.

The history of Russian fruit and flower still life began in the 18th century, when Russian state’s art culture was getting closer to that of European countries, especially with the Netherlands. This article shows the evolution of Russian fruit and flower still life of the 18th century in the context of Dutch-Flemish inheritance. The major focus is made on the objective motifs of the still life and its semantics. In the works of this genre, the continuity of Dutch traditions could be traced due to “Symbols and Emblemata”, an iconological reference book published at the initiative of Peter I.
