REMBRANDT VAN RIJN IN THE ARTISTIC PICTURE OF THE WORLD BY T. SHEVCHENKO

Abstract

Introduction. In this study, we trace the influence of the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn on the formation of the artistic picture of the World T. Shevchenko.

Methods. The tasks of the comparative historical method are confirmed in the epistolary heritage and sketches about the influence of the Dutch artist on the formation of Shevchenko's artistic taste and borrowing of singing artistic techniques.

Results. While studying at the Academy of Fine Arts, T. Shevchenko intuitively chooses a teacher-Rembrandt van Rijn. In it, he imitates the transmission of light and shadow, chooses similar subjects, and most of all learns from a Dutch artist the art of creating etchings. We find similarities in the sketch of trees and houses drawn by both artists, where the house is an extension of the natural space.

Conclusions. In this study, using the example of T. Shevchenko's epistolary and visual heritage and Rembrandt's drawings and etchings, joint drawings in the artistic picture of the world of both creators are revealed, which are manifested in the conceptual similarity of sketches, self-portraits, subjects, etc. The study shows the importance of the Dutch artist in the development of Shevchenko as an artist and poet, reveals the importance of Fine Art, which became a guide for Shevchenko to the world of literature. T. Shevchenko transferred the methods of artistic art known to him to literature, introduced new social themes into Ukrainian creative art, like Rembrandt. Visual creativity has prepared folk singing for masterful command of the word and expression of their experiences and thoughts by verbal means. Shevchenko's passion for Rembrandt since his studies at the Academy, the use of his creative techniques and preliminary preparation for creating engravings based on his etchings. This influence extends to his further literary work. Shevchenko's poetry is characterized by The Rembrandt sound of poetry. Rembrandt and Shevchenko are also united by respect for ordinary people, whom atypical artists pay attention to and portray in their works. There is also a commonality in the self-portraits that artists create at different stages of their lives.
