Iconography of the Resurrection in the Russian art of the 16th — 18th centuries: sources of formation of the new canon

The article deals with the study of the development of the new iconography "Resurrection with the Descent into Hell", which appeared in Russian art in the 16th century. Variants of new iconography are considered on the examples of certain monuments. Iconographic types are distinguished by the arrangement of the two main plots, sequential or vertical. At the same time, in the first iconographic type, it is possible to see either a literal adherence to the Dutch engraving, or a rethinking: the placement of the image "Resurrection" below, under the main stage.The influence of the Old Believers' work "The Passion of Christ" on the iconography "Resurrection with the Descent into Hell" is investigated. This influence is evident not only in the new storylines that become commonplace for the new image. This can be seen both in the text on the icon and in the stamps of monuments. Examples of citing the text are given. Certain iconographic features associated with this influence are noted.
