The role of visual sources in the restoration of the historical appearance of the estate Semenovskoe-Otrada

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №2 (82) June, 2023

The article addresses the role of works of art as pictorial sources in the restoration of the Russian manor. Given the fact that historical research is facing growing complex challenges, there is a need to consider sources that previously were considered as auxiliary. First of all, this applies to works of art. Pictorial sources are no less important than any other is. As a confirmation of this fact, the article reviews the works of K.K. Kolman, G.A. Bosse, V.V. Kabanov, N.A. Kiselev, Y.N. Raukh, and a painting by an unknown artist of the mid–19th century. Using these artworks as an example, the significance of works of art in the restoration of the historical appearance of a Russian manor, the Semyonovskoye-Otrada manor, is evaluated. A conclusion is drawn whether it is possible to use exclusively works of art for the organization restoration work or whether other sources are also needed.

THE PROBLEM OF VERISIMILITUDE IN THE REPRODUCTION OF MATERIAL ENVIRONMENT AND BEHAVIORAL IMPERATIVES IN THE WORKS OF RUSSIAN ARTISTS

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №1 (77) March, 2022

The article raises the issue of importance of artworks in the historical and battle genres for cultivating a civic-minded person. The desire of modern Russian artists to convey heroic pages in the history of our Fatherland on the one hand and their inattention to the reproduction of the material culture of the eras depicted on the other hand reduce the artistic value and, hence, the educational value of their artworks. This study reviews the works of the M. Grekov Studio artists on the theme of the 1812 Patriotic War from the perspective of auxiliary disciplines such as uniformology and vexillology. We also give consideration to the creativity of the well-known painter A. Averyanov, who was very attentive to detail and conducted extensive research into plot he was going to depict in his painting. The article gives credit to participants of historical military re-enactments for their help in the development of modern Russian historical and battle-scene painting, who are involved in both research and uniformological design. Thus, in the early 21st century, the art that reflects the heroic history of Russia is receiving more and more attention from the audience, contributing to the growth of national consciousness.
