Namely, it concerns the visual interpretation of the verbal descriptions of nature, expounded both in the scientific treatises and in the literary works. Specific features of miniature paintings of this genre are largely determined by the deeply-rooted among the Middle East people perceptions of the universe as the genius creation of God. Those are two different, but inseparable and interconnected worlds, celestial and terrestrial ones, and each of them has its own functions, and each of them was populated by inhabitants of completely different appearances, types and habits. The natural (like nature itself) fusion of truth and fiction in the monuments of the verbal, oral and written culture of the Arab Middle Ages gave impetus to the appearance of visual images created by paints and lines. Their numerousness and diversity unfold a panorama of an amazing and incomprehensible world of fantasy and reality in front of the reader-spectator.","PeriodicalId":37537,"journal":{"name":"Academia (Greece)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70463435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The princely community at the early stages of the development of pre-Mongol culture assimilated from Byzantium the court art full of \"classical\" reminiscences. New finds of fresco fragments of the Church of the Annunciation on Hillfort and the St. George Cathedral of the Yuriev monastery in Novgorod clearly demonstrate that aristocratic traditions, with elements of the “classics” penetrated into Russia during the reign of the House of Monomakh. These traditions spread beyond the boundaries of the Kiev land and Southern Russia and manifested themselves in the monuments of Novgorod. They were alive not only in the 11th century, but throughout the entire first third of the 12th century. This situation was quite consistent with the preservation of the practice of the princely order.","PeriodicalId":37537,"journal":{"name":"Academia (Greece)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70464260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author outlines the scheme of ancient Bucolic, correlates it with the analysis of the vision of the Renaissance Pastoral, which is here depicted in development from initial model of the Pastoral to its new, complicated one. The author traces back the traditional interpretation of the Renaissance conception of the Pastoral in its multidimensional nature, and also, in its saturation with Bucolic, literary-mythological, philosophical meanings. This perspective allows concluding that the motif of the Pastoral landscape acquires deep substantive content in Renaissance paintings, thus becoming the constructing basis for other types of landscapes – mythological, biblical, allegorical among them.","PeriodicalId":37537,"journal":{"name":"Academia (Greece)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70464293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After that, the author refers to the books of emblems of Johann Mannich (“Sacra Emblemata”, 1624), Francesco Pona (“Cardiomorphoseos, sive, Ex corde desumpta emblemata sacra”, 1645), as well as the treatise of Benedict Haeften (Schola cordis, sive Aversi a deo cordis, ad eumdem reductio et instructio, 1629).

Over the course of many years the artist strove to ingrain in his pupils a singular manner of seeing and thinking, based on incessant studies from nature. A thorough examination of classical and Old Masters’ artistic heritage – another essential part of the educational process – was called upon to develop a creative independence of talents. The author presents here an attempt to analyse what exactly Vien believed to be “exemplary”: works of art deserving of primary attention; the creators who charted out the fundamentals of the artistic upbringing. Staying true to his “principes positifs” led to Vien’s tutorial longevity and gained him, in his lifetime, the reputation of an “exemplary” teacher and the “reviver” of the French School of painting.","PeriodicalId":37537,"journal":{"name":"Academia (Greece)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70463751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some details of the Moscow engravings correspond to the illustrations from the Bible made by Nicolas Joannes Piscator (1586–1652).
