Gods of Ancient Egypt

God Amon Amon (“hidden”, “secret”), in Egyptian mythology the god of the sun. Amon's sacred animal is the ram and the goose (both symbols of wisdom). God was depicted as a man (sometimes with the head of a ram), with a scepter and a crown, with two tall feathers and a solar disk.

The cult of Amon originated in Thebes and then spread throughout Egypt. Amun's wife, the sky goddess Mut, and his son, the moon god Khonsu, formed the Theban triad with him. During the Middle Kingdom, Amon began to be called Amon-Ra, since the cults of the two deities united, acquiring a state character.

God Anubis Anubis, in Egyptian mythology, the patron god of the dead, the son of the god of vegetation Osiris and Nephthys, sister of Isis. Nephthys hid the newborn Anubis from her husband Set in the swamps of the Nile Delta. The mother goddess Isis found the young god and raised him.

Later, when Set killed Osiris, Anubis, organizing the burial of the deceased god, wrapped his body in fabrics impregnated with a special composition, thus making the first mummy. Therefore, Anubis is considered the creator of funeral rites and is called the god of embalming.

Anubis also helped judge the dead and accompanied the righteous to the throne of Osiris. Anubis was depicted as a jackal or a black wild dog (or a man with the head of a jackal or dog).

God Horus Horus, Horus ("height", "sky"), in Egyptian mythology the god of the sky and the sun in the guise of a falcon, a man with the head of a falcon or a winged sun, the son of the fertility goddess Isis and Osiris, the god of productive forces. Its symbol is a solar disk with outstretched wings.

Initially, the falcon god was revered as a predatory god of the hunt, with his claws digging into his prey. According to myth, Isis conceived Horus from the dead Osiris, who was treacherously killed by the formidable desert god Set, his brother.

Retiring deep into the swampy Nile Delta, Isis gave birth to and raised a son, who, having matured, in a dispute with Set, sought recognition of himself as the sole heir of Osiris. In the battle with Set, the killer of his father, Horus is first defeated - Set tore out his eye, the wonderful Eye, but then Horus defeated Set and deprived him of his masculinity. As a sign of submission, he placed the sandal of Osiris on Seth's head. Horus allowed his wonderful Eye to be swallowed by his father, and he came to life. The resurrected Osiris handed over his throne in Egypt to Horus, and he himself became the king of the underworld.

God Set Set, in Egyptian mythology, the god of the desert, i.e. “foreign countries”, the personification of the evil principle, brother and killer of Osiris, one of the four children of the earth god Heb and Nut, the goddess of the sky. The sacred animals of Seth were considered to be the pig (“disgust for the gods”), antelope, giraffe, and the main one was the donkey. The Egyptians imagined him as a man with a thin, long body and a donkey's head.

God Thoth Thoth, Djehuti, in Egyptian mythology, the god of the moon, wisdom, counting and writing, patron of sciences, scribes, sacred books, creator of the calendar. The goddess of truth and order Maat was considered the wife of Thoth. Thoth's sacred animal was the ibis, and so the god was often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis.

He was present at the trial of Osiris and recorded the results of weighing the soul of the deceased. Since Thoth participated in the justification of Osiris and gave the order for his embalming, he took part in the funeral ritual of every deceased Egyptian and led him to the kingdom of the dead.

Judgment of Osiris

God Osiris Osiris, in Egyptian mythology, the god of the productive forces of nature, the ruler of the underworld, the judge in the kingdom of the dead. Osiris was the eldest son of the earth god Geb and the sky goddess Nut, brother and husband of Isis. He reigned on earth after the gods Pa, Shu and Geb and taught the Egyptians agriculture, viticulture and winemaking, mining and processing of copper and gold ore, the art of medicine, the construction of cities, and established the cult of the gods.

Osiris is the god of the annually dying and reborn nature, later the god of the underworld and the judge of the dead; was depicted as a human mummy wearing a crown framed with feathers, a beard, a scepter and a whip in bent hands.

Set, his brother, the evil god of the desert, decided to destroy Osiris and made a sarcophagus according to the measurements of his older brother. Having arranged a feast, he invited Osiris and announced that the sarcophagus would be presented to the one who fit the bill. When Osiris lay down in the capophagus, the conspirators slammed the lid, filled it with lead and threw it into the waters of the Nile. Osiris lay down in the sarcophagus.

The faithful wife of Osiris, Isis, found her husband’s body, miraculously extracted the life force hidden in him and conceived a son named Horus from the dead Osiris. When Horus grew up, he took revenge on Set. Horus gave his magic Eye, torn out by Seth at the beginning of the battle, to his dead father to swallow. Osiris came to life, but did not want to return to earth, and, leaving the throne to Horus, began to reign and administer justice in the afterlife. Anubis performs funeral rites over the body of Osiris

Osiris was often depicted as a man with green skin, sitting among trees, or with a vine entwining his figure. It was believed that, like the entire plant world, Osiris dies annually and is reborn to new life, but the fertilizing life force in him remains even in death. Osiris with the head of a ram

Goddess Isis Isis (Isis) in Egyptian mythology, the goddess of fertility, water and wind, a symbol of femininity and marital fidelity, the goddess of navigation, daughter of Hebe and Nut, sister and wife of Osiris. Isis helped Osiris civilize Egypt and taught women to reap, spin and weave, cure diseases and established the institution of marriage.

According to one version, Isis collected the body and revived Osiris to life using her healing powers, and conceived from him the god of the sky and sun, Horus. Isis was so popular in Egypt that over time she acquired the characteristics of other goddesses.

Goddess Sekhmet Sekhmet (“mighty”), in Egyptian mythology the goddess of war and the scorching sun, daughter of Ra, wife of Ptah, mother of the god of vegetation Nefertum. The sacred animal of Sekhmet is a lioness. The goddess was depicted as a woman with the head of a lioness and was revered throughout Egypt.

Possessing magical powers, Sekhmet could kill a person or give him illness; The goddess's anger brought pestilence and epidemics. At the same time, Sekhmet is a healing goddess who patronized doctors who were considered her priests.

God Ptah Ptah, in Egyptian mythology, the creator god, patron of arts and crafts, especially revered in Memphis. Ptah created the first eight gods (his hypostases - the Ptahs), the world and everything that exists in it (animals, plants, people, cities, temples, crafts, arts, etc.) “with the tongue and the heart.” Having conceived creation in his heart, he expressed his thoughts in words. Ptah was depicted as a mummy with an open head, with a staff standing on a hieroglyph meaning truth.

Tour of the Acropolis of Athens

Athens Acropolis (5th century BC) Acropolis - the upper city The Athenian Acropolis stood on a high cliff, rising 150 m above sea level. It is the compositional center of the city, located at its foot. Its creators were architects working under the guidance of the sculptor Phidias. Phidias devoted 16 years of his life to the Acropolis. Here his creative and organizational abilities fully developed, and the talent of the sculptor reached maturity.

Pericles The heyday of the main center of Athenian culture - the Acropolis - is associated with Pericles, who ruled Athens at that time. He was a highly educated man, the generally recognized leader of Athenian democracy. Pericles united around himself the best minds of Hellas: his friends were the philosopher Anaxagoras, the artist Polykleitos and the sculptor Phidias

Feast of the Great Panathenaea The compositional concept of the Acropolis ensemble is associated with the Panathenaic celebrations and the procession of the Athenians to the Acropolis. On the last day of the Great Panathenaea, celebrated once every 4 years, a solemn procession of city citizens presented Athena with a sacred veil (peplos), woven by the hands of Athenian girls. This gift was a sign of the resurrection of the goddess Athena. The holiday was accompanied by equestrian and gymnastic competitions, competitions of singers and musicians.

Reconstruction of the Acropolis

Propylaea Propylaea is a ceremonial, main entrance. It was built by the architect Mnesicles in 437-432 BC. They are two Doric porticos, one of which faces the city, and the other to the top of the Acropolis. On the left, adjacent to the propylaea, was the Pinakothek - an art gallery that housed paintings, memorial marble slabs and dedications to the gods

Temple of Nike Apteros To the right of the Propylaea there was a tiny, elegant, light temple of Nike Apteros (wingless) - the goddess of Victory. It was built by Callicrates in 427-424 BC. Inside the temple was a wingless statue of the goddess. There is a legend according to which this goddess brought victory to the Greeks over the Persians, and then the inhabitants of the city did not want to part with her. Having depicted her as wingless, they believed that the goddess would never be able to leave their city.

Statue of Athena Promachos (warrior) Having passed the Propylaea, we find ourselves on the top of a leveled rock, turned into a square. In the center of the square stood a huge 17-meter bronze statue of Athena Promachos, patron of Athens and the Greek people. The stern and formidable goddess rests on a spear with her right hand, and holds a shield with her left. This statue was clearly visible from all sides of the city, and even from the sea. Now the square is empty, because the statue was destroyed in the 13th century. superstitious crusading knights

Parthenon The composition of the Acropolis is based on the principle of asymmetry, the principle of a free panorama. Therefore, the statue of Athena was placed to the left of the main axis of the Pripylia, and the famous Parthenon was shifted to the right. The Parthenon Temple is dedicated to Athena Parthenos (the virgin) Built by the architects Ictinus and Kallicrates Built from golden-pink Pentellian marble

According to its plan, the Parthenon is a Doric peripter - 8x17 columns 10.5 m high. The temple is harmonious, thanks to the combination of the properties of two orders - Doric and Ionic. The outer columns were of the Doric order, the walls of the temple cell itself were crowned with a continuous Ionic frieze

Inside, the building is divided into two equal parts. The treasury of the Athenian Maritime League was kept in the rear wing, and in the eastern part, on a high pedestal, stood the famous statue of Athena Parthenos Athena Parthenos, the last statue by Phidias. He worked on it for 10 years. The height of the statue is 12 meters. It had a wooden base, covered with gold and ivory. Athena had a helmet on her head with an image of a sphinx and winged horses, and on her chest was an aegis with a mask of Gargona Medusa. In her right hand she held the two-meter goddess Nike, and in her left hand she held a shield. On the outside of the shield was a battle between the Greeks and the Amazons. At the feet of Athena is an owl - a symbol of wisdom, and on the left is a snake, personifying Erechtheus - the most ancient deity of Attica. The majestically flowing folds of her clothing resembled the grooves of slender columns - flutes in the 5th century. AD the statue of Athena was taken to Constantinople by a Byzantine emperor, and there, 100 years later, it died in a fire

The outside of the Parthenon was decorated with scenes of fierce battles (from mythological scenes). Inside, the relief frieze of the Parthenon went around the entire building. On a marble ribbon 160 meters long and 1 meter high, the solemn procession of the inhabitants of Athens on the day of the Great Panathenaia was depicted. For its harmony, fusion of forms and beauty of rhythm, it had no equal in world art.

Erechtheion The Erechtheion is a small Ionic temple created in 421-405 BC. The temple is dedicated to the goddess Athena and the mythical king Erechtheus and named in his honor. According to legend, it was here that a dispute took place between Athena and Poseidon for the right to own Attica. The composition of the temple is very complex. It is built on an uneven rocky slope and has three porticoes of completely different sizes and shapes.

No matter from which side we approach this temple, from everywhere it greets us with a new, unexpected composition of the facade, the asymmetry of the corners. In one of the porticos, the role of columns is played by kora - figures of girls. Statues of caryatids are organically combined with the architecture. They play a constructive role, replacing columns, and at the same time look great against the background of the marble wall of the temple.

Russian culture of the 18th century

“The Age of Reason and Enlightenment” - this is how the great thinkers of the 18th century, the heralds of new revolutionary ideas, spoke about their time. Introduction

The intensive growth of Russian culture in the 18th century was largely due to major transformations in all areas of Russian society carried out in the era of Peter I. The political and cultural achievements of the Peter I era contributed to the strengthening of the people's sense of national pride, consciousness of the greatness and power of the Russian state. Petrine reforms contributed to the economic and political rise of the state. Enlightenment has advanced greatly, which had a great influence on the further development of culture.

Education

On the verge of the 19th century. in Russia there were 550 educational institutions and 62 thousand students. These figures show the rise of literacy in Russia and at the same time its lag compared to Western Europe: in England at the end of the 18th century. there were more than 250 thousand students in Sunday schools alone, and in France the number primary schools in 1794 it reached 8 thousand. In Russia, on average, only two people out of a thousand studied. The social composition of students in secondary schools was extremely varied. In public schools, children of artisans, peasants, artisans, soldiers, sailors, etc. predominated. The age composition of students was also different - both children and 22-year-old men studied in the same classes.

In Russia in the 18th century there were 3 types of schools: soldiers’ schools, closed noble schools educational establishments, theological seminaries and schools. training of specialists was also carried out through universities - Academic, established in 1725 under the Academy of Sciences and existing until 1765, Moscow, founded in 1755 at the initiative of Lomonosov, and Vilensky, which was formally opened only in 1803, but in fact operated as a university since the 80s of the 18th century.

Soldiers' schools Soldiers' schools are secondary schools for soldiers' children, successors and continuers of the digital schools of Peter the Great's time. Soldiers' children made up the bulk of students at Moscow and St. Petersburg universities. National military schools, opened in the second half of the 18th century, also belonged to the soldier type. in the North Caucasus (Kizlyar, Mozdok and Ekaterinograd).

Closed noble educational institutions Closed noble educational institutions are private boarding houses, gentry buildings, institutes noble maidens etc. in total there are more than 60 educational institutions, where about 4.5 thousand noble children studied. Noble boarding schools were also class-based educational institutions - private and public: the Smolny Institute for Noble Maidens, the Noble Boarding School at Moscow University, etc. These educational institutions enjoyed the greatest financial support from the government.

Theological seminaries and schools There were 66 of them, with 20,393 students studying there. These were also estate schools intended for the children of the clergy; commoners were not accepted into them. The main task These schools trained priests devoted to the church and the tsar, but the students of the seminaries also received general education and often became agents of literacy in their parishes.

Typography

In the 18th century, book publishing increased significantly. In 1708, a font reform was carried out, civil printing was introduced, which contributed to the increase in secular and civil books and magazines. Libraries were organized and bookstores were opened. Widespread book publishing activity greatly accelerated the development of literature. The introduction of the civil language contributed to the strengthening of the secular language.

Literature

At this time, poetic works were very popular - odes, fables, epigrams of the Russian poet and educator Antioch Cantemir (1708-1744). The poet V.K. Trediakovsky (1703-1768) became a reformer of the Russian language and versification. The founder of Russian drama was A.P. Sumarokov (1717-1777), poet, author of the first comedies and tragedies, director of the Russian Theater in St. Petersburg. He wrote in different genres: lyrical songs, odes, epigrams, satires, fables. The ideas of Russian classicism were reflected in the works of these writers.

Last quarter of the 18th century. became the heyday of the work of the great poet G.R. Derzhavin (1743-1816). The main genre of his works was ode. Russian morals and customs were expressed in his social comedies “The Brigadier” and “The Minor” by D.I. Fonvizin. His comedies laid the foundation for the accusatory-realistic trend in literature. The founder of Russian sentimentalism was N.M. Karamzin (1766-1826), author of the stories “Poor Liza”, “Village”, etc. Karamzin’s main work is “History of the Russian State”.

Architecture

The seventeenth century marks the end of the 700-year period of ancient Russian stone construction, which has written more than one remarkable page in the chronicle of world architecture. In the Peter the Great era, innovations were introduced into architecture and construction, driven by the government's demands to express the strength, power and greatness of the Russian Empire in architectural structures. With the political and economic development of the country, new demands are placed on civil engineering.

The most notable buildings of that time in Moscow were the Bolshoi Kamenny Bridge, the Arsenal in the Kremlin, etc. In 1749, Ukhtomsky organized the first architectural school in Russia in Moscow, in which V.P. Bazhenov and M.F. Kazakov studied under his leadership.

In 1700, Russia began the Northern War against Sweden to liberate Russian lands and return the Neva banks to Russia. Access to the Baltic Sea was open for Russia. It was only necessary to secure it and secure it. On May 27, 1703, according to the drawings of Peter I and military engineers, a fortress of a new bastion type was laid - the Peter and Paul Fortress. On the southern bank of the Neva, almost opposite the Peter and Paul Fortress, in 1704, according to the drawings of Peter I, a shipbuilding shipyard-fortress was founded - the Admiralty.

The epicenter of advanced trends in architecture and urban planning of St. Petersburg. Under the protection of three interacting fortresses, its construction began, which became the new capital of Russia in 1712. The placement of city-forming structures was carried out according to the instructions of Peter I himself. Since 1710, only brick houses began to be built. Because There were not enough qualified specialists, then in 1710 the following were invited: Italians, Germans, Dutch. They had to not only build, but also train Russian architects from the students who worked with them.

Russian Baroque, which tended to create heroic images and glorify the power of the Russian Empire, was most clearly manifested in the architectural structures of one of the largest architects of this movement - F. B. Rastrelli. According to his designs, majestic palace ensembles were created in St. Petersburg (Winter Palace, Stroganov Palace, and in Peterhof, in Tsarskoe Selo (Catherine Palace). The solemn, festive nature of Rastrelli’s architecture left its mark on all the art of the mid-18th century.

In the 1760s, a change in architectural and artistic style occurred in Russia. Decorative baroque gave way to classicism, which quickly established itself in St. Petersburg and Moscow, and then spread throughout the country. Classicism (from Latin - exemplary) is an artistic style that develops through the creative borrowing of forms, compositions and examples of art from the ancient world and the Italian Renaissance.

For guidance everywhere urban planning activities in December 1762, a commission was established on the stone structure of St. Petersburg and Moscow. Created to regulate the development of both capitals, it soon began to manage all urban planning in the country. The commission functioned until 1796. In addition to regulating the planning of St. Petersburg and Moscow, the commission for 34 years created master plans 24 cities (Arkhangelsk, Astrakhan, Tver, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Novgorod, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Tomsk, Pskov, Voronezh, Vitebsk and others).

In XVIII Russia, architectural creations were created that are the property of not only Russia, but the whole world. Some of them, namely: Bazhenov V.I. - construction of the Grand Kremlin Palace and college buildings on the territory of the Moscow Kremlin. and is still one of the most perfect works of all Russian classicism of the late 18th century. Creation of a country royal palace and park residence in the village of Tsaritsyno near Moscow. The Pashkov House, now the old building of the V.I. Lenin Library, is still one of the most perfect works of all Russian classicism of the late 18th century. The culmination of Bazhenov’s work was the project of the Mikhailovsky Castle in St. Petersburg.

The most important progressive traditions of Russian architecture, which are of great importance for the practice of late architecture, are ensemble and urban planning art. Architecture was transformed over time, but nevertheless, some features of Russian architecture existed and developed over the centuries, maintaining traditional stability until the 20th century, when the cosmopolitan essence of imperialism began to gradually erase them.

art

This is the heyday of portraiture. The most famous artists of Peter the Great's time are Andrei Matveev and Ivan Nikitin - the founders of Russian secular painting. By the end of the 20s, there was a turning point towards the court direction of painting. The best portrait painters of the 18th century. - A.P.Antropov, F.S.Rokotov, D.T.Levitsky, V.L.Borovikovsky. The classical direction in sculpture was represented by Fyodor Shubin and Mikhail Kozlovsky. At the end of the 18th century. One of the richest art collections in the world is being formed - the Hermitage. It is based on a private collection of paintings by Catherine II.

In the 18th century The development of the theater continued. New theaters were opened, performances were staged based on plays by Russian authors - Sumarokov, Fonvizin. Ballet in Russia originated as separate dance numbers during intermissions of dramatic and opera performances. In 1741, by decree of Peter's daughter Elizabeth, a Russian ballet troupe was established. The serf theater also continued to develop. The history of the theater includes the names of serf actors Praskovya Zhemchugova, Mikhail Shchepkin and others. In the 18th century, the theater gained enormous popularity and became the property of the masses.

In the 18th century Secular musical art begins to spread. A Philharmonic Society is created, in which ancient and classical music is performed, a school of composers is formed, Russian composers appear - authors of opera and chamber music. The Peter the Great era marked the beginning of the development of a new type of secular music. The creativity of this time is still very insignificant: it is limited mainly to the simplest genres of applied music - military, table, dance. The new function of musical art was especially fully manifested in the genres of ceremonial and ceremonial music.

Dance genres were especially popular. The dances of Peter the Great's assemblies - minuet, polonaise, anglaise - were firmly rooted on Russian soil, and some of them, primarily the minuet, became favorites in noble society. Despite class restrictions, ever wider sections of the population are drawn to the art of music, and even representatives of the serf class now constitute almost the main group of professional musicians. By the end of the 18th century, we can talk about well-established, stable national traditions in the field of musical performance, opera theater, and concert life.

Opera becomes the leading musical genre. The leading opera composer of that time was D.S. Bortnyansky, the author of about 200 works. At the end of the century, the genre of chamber lyrical song appeared - Russian romance based on poems by Russian poets. Opera attracts both a wide audience and the best creative forces. The opera evokes lively responses in public opinion, in poetry, literature and criticism. With great spontaneity and completeness, it reflects the advanced, democratic tendencies of Russian art. The opera, like the comedy, touched upon the most acute, fundamental problems of Russian reality, and first of all the issue of social inequality, the difficult, powerless situation of the serf peasantry.

Russian opera of the 18th century is primarily a realistic comedy opera household plan, closely connected with the entire structure of Russian social life. Opera, with all the complexity and diversity of its forms, nourished all Russian professional music and contributed to the development of other genres. The foundations of both Russian symphonism and Russian choral classics were rooted in it. Closely related to folk songs and everyday romance, it also influenced professional vocal lyrics. The active development of operatic dramaturgy in the 18th century largely determined in advance the important role that the operatic genre was destined to play in the work of classical composers.

Conclusion

The eighteenth century in the field of culture and life in Russia is a century of deep social contrasts, the rise of education and science. The 18th century was significant for Russia with noticeable changes and significant achievements in the field of art. Its genre structure, content, character, and means of artistic expression have changed. And in architecture, and in sculpture, and in painting, and in graphics Russian art entered the pan-European path of development.

All areas of culture have developed - education, printing, literature, architecture, fine arts. New ones have appeared literary magazines, fiction, public theater, secular music.

Development of culture in the 18th century. prepared the brilliant flowering of Russian culture of the 19th century, which became integral integral part world culture. However, unlike the previous period of time, the culture was greatly influenced by the nobility, and the dominance of foreigners continued.

Stambha of Ashoka. III century BC e. Height 9.8 m In 321 BC. e. The first centralized state arose in India - the Mauryan Empire. During the reign of King Ashoka (268-232 BC), Buddhism was adopted as the state religion. Ashoka demonstrated his conversion to Buddhism by vigorously spreading the faith throughout India, from Bengal to Afghanistan, through edicts carved on monumental stone columns. Columns (stambhas) symbolize the axis of the Universe, which connects Heaven and Earth and personifies the World Tree of Life. http://indiapicks.com

Lion capital of a stambha from Sarnath. Mid-3rd century BC e. Stambha, reaching a height of over 10 meters, is a well-polished stone pillar. The stambha is crowned by a capital with sculptured images of animals, which signifies royal offerings to Buddha. The most famous of them is the Lion Capital from Sarnath. According to legend, the pillar carrying this capital was installed in the place where Buddha delivered his first sermon. The image of the Lion Capital is printed on the banknotes of modern India. http://newtown.k12.ct.us

Great stupa in Sanchi. During the reign of King Ashoka, Buddhist memorial and funeral structures - stupas - became widespread in the architecture of the Mauryan Empire. Unlike other Buddhist buildings that had interior spaces and an entrance, the stupa was monolithic and solid en.wikipedia.org

Great stupa in Sanchi. III-II centuries BC e. (2nd century BC fence, 1st century BC gate) en.wikipedia.org One of the oldest surviving stupas was built at Sanchi under the Mauryas (c. 250 BC) . Later it was rebuilt and slightly increased in size. The hemispherical dome of the stupa rests on a round base with a terrace running along the entire perimeter. The terrace was intended for a ritual rite of worship, which consisted of worshipers walking around the stupa in a circle, clockwise. On the south side two symmetrical staircases lead to the terrace.

Great stupa in Sanchi. III-II centuries BC e. (fence of the 2nd century BC, gate of the 1st century BC) en.wikipedia.org At the top of the dome there is a column, as if emerging from the core of the stupa. In this, researchers see a continuation of the cult of Ashoka’s columns. The central pillar, symbolizing the axis of the Universe, is topped with round discs and surrounded by a fence of square pillars. Umbrellas represent celestial levels or steps of ascent to nirvana. The three umbrellas symbolize the three jewels: Buddha, the Law and the monastic community.

Early stupas served as burial places for relics of the Buddha himself. There is a legend that Buddha was asked what his tomb should be like. The teacher spread his cloak on the ground and turned a round begging bowl onto it. This is how the stupa acquired its hemispherical shape. The hemisphere, a symbol of Heaven and infinity, in Buddhism means Buddha's nirvana (that is, his final liberation from the world), as well as Buddha himself.

Fragment from www.greatbuildings.com Relief carving at Sanchi is limited by the columns and beams of four gates. Each gate is divided into three parts. In the upper section, consisting of three architraves, the narrative unfolds, which ends in volutes - like the stone pages of illuminated manuscripts, once carried from village to village by wandering storytellers. Despite the closely spaced plots, the deep carvings are so skillfully executed that the stories can be seen even from below, from the ground.

The space is filled with human figures, animal figures (real and fantastic) and Buddhist symbols such as a stupa, lotus and tree. The capitals, which are connected to beams and square columns, are surrounded by lions, elephants and dwarfs - their figures break the flatness of the fence and create a dynamic transition from vertical columns to horizontal beams. A visual connection with the beams is also created with the help of brackets in the form of female figures. Great stupa in Sanchi. III-II centuries BC e.

Chaitya in Karli. I century BC e. In the 1st century BC e. In the religious architecture of India, cave temples - chaityas - are widespread (mainly in areas where rising mountain plateaus abruptly end, creating stepped walls of solid stone several hundred kilometers long). An example of this type of structure is the chaitya in Karli. In front of the cave stood two columns. The most important feature of the chaitya's façade is the huge horseshoe-shaped window, which serves as the main source of light in the temple. www.2india.ru

The interior space vaguely resembles a basilica: the space carved into the rock is divided into three “naves”, separated from each other by rows of columns with pot-shaped bases and complex capitals (a combination of bell and lotus flower motifs) with a sculptural completion of a group of male and female figures.

Presentation for the lesson of World artistic culture In the 10th grade (Profile level) Presentation was made by: teacher of the First Moscow Art Culture qualification category T.D. Ageeva Municipal budgetary educational institution of Vladimir “Secondary comprehensive school No. 15"

Art of the Middle Ages

General characteristics of the culture of the Middle Ages The beginning of the era of medieval culture is considered to be 476, the year of the fall of the Roman Empire. There is also an art history term “medieval culture” - from the adoption of Christianity by the Emperor of Rome Constantine as the official religion in 313 and up to the 15th century.

When studying the topic, it is necessary to pay attention to the following questions: The Middle Ages includes 3 periods - 3 stages of the development of feudalism (formation, prosperity and decline) The Early Middle Ages dates back to the V - X centuries Mature feudalism - X - the end of the XV century Late Middle Ages - XV - XVII centuries The spirit of the era: the movement of peoples, the creation of new states, the expansion of trade and cultural ties between Europe and North Africa, the Middle East, the emergence of the first parliaments and constitutions, inventions, European languages. A contradiction in the worldview of the Middle Ages: man is the crown of nature, man is God's servant.

A special place in culture is occupied by such genres of art as architecture and painting. The language of science and the church is Latin. The art of “language in stone” is the lot of the common people. The role of the church and its influence on the culture of the Middle Ages was very great. The church is the main customer of works of art and serves a religious cult. The plots of the works are of a religious nature: they are images of the other world, the language of symbols and allegories. There is no portrait genre, since it is believed that an ordinary person is not worthy of being depicted. The main genre of painting is the icon. Subjects - lives of saints, images of the Mother of God, Jesus Christ. When studying the topic, you need to pay attention to the following questions:

Features of architecture Romanesque style The term "Romanesque style" appeared in the 19th century from the concept - "Romanesque languages." They are based on Latin - the language of the ancient Romans. The period that covers the Romanesque style is X - XII centuries. This is the first great style in art. Stages of development of Romanesque art: - pre-Romanesque - 5-9 centuries - Romanesque - 11-12 centuries Main types of buildings: - feudal castle - monastery ensemble - temple

The main features of the construction of castles: - the castle is a product of the feudal era, the period of fragmentation, wars, raids. For self-defense purposes, the castle was built as a fortress. - heavy, gloomy grandeur - jagged top - three-story towers - moat - huge gates on chains - bridge - Donjons - high rectangular towers, under which there were underground storerooms, quarters for servants and guards. Choice of construction site: hill or elevated place, river slope.

The donjon is the tallest and largest tower of the castle, in which the feudal lord took refuge during the siege.

Leaning Tower of Pisa Built of white marble, a masterpiece of medieval architecture. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is called the Leaning Tower due to its tilt due to land subsidence. In 1301, its last tier was shifted in the opposite direction.

Gothic style "Gothic" - the term was introduced by Renaissance humanists, who considered everything that was not antique to be negative and barbaric. The Goths, who disappeared as a people among the Italians, Germans, and Spaniards, have nothing to do with the name. Gothic style is the second great style of the Middle Ages. It originated in France and dominated from the 12th to the 16th centuries.

A Gothic church (cathedral) can be immediately recognized by its pointed arches (pointed upward), window arches, and doorways. Churches no longer look like fortresses; they easily rise to the sky, as if they were not made of stone at all. The windows are lined with colored glass - stained glass and take up so much space that there are almost no walls left. The vaults are supported by pillars covered with semi-columns, resembling bundles of stems.

Notre Dame Cathedral

In late Gothic, drawings of stained glass windows, sculptures, “stone” ornaments, and ceiling carvings became increasingly more complex. They often resemble complex lace patterns. I can't even believe that all this is made of stone.

Gothic style in architecture

Features of the applied art of the Middle Ages The artistic craft was the most developed. They richly decorated even household items. Wicker patterns were used especially generously. It consisted of an endless strip, the interlacing of which filled the entire surface of the object. Between the weavings were images of animals and people, distorted and simplified, or stylized.

The main forms of painting are monumental temple painting - mosaics and frescoes, icon painting, book miniatures. Mosaic is a complex technique of folding a picture from multi-colored pieces of smalt (an alloy of glass with mineral paints). Here the angle of incidence of light was precisely calculated, the surface of the mosaic was made slightly rough. Stained glass is a picturesque canvas made of pieces of multi-colored glass; the angle of incidence of light played a special role. The color gave a unique color to the entire room of the temple. Blue, red, yellow colors were used. The image was flat, without shadows, themes on religious subjects, which were instructive in nature.

Features of medieval sculpture Sculpture of the Middle Ages has its own characteristics - images of saints are devoid of canon, simple faces, images of real people, fantastic creatures, forces of evil (asps) decorated churches. The reliefs depicted biblical events and legendary scenes from the lives of saints. In addition to decorating churches, the reliefs had another purpose. Ordinary people in those days were illiterate, and for their enlightenment they created a “bible of the poor” from stone.

It is difficult to disagree with how important a role art plays in the history of any period. Judge for yourself: in history lessons at school, after each topic devoted to the study of the political and economic situation in the world in a given time period, students are asked to prepare reports on the art of a given era.

Also, in the school curriculum since relatively recently there has been such a subject as MHC. This is absolutely no coincidence, because any work of art is one of the brightest reflections of the time in which it was created, and allows you to look at world history through the eyes of the creator who gave this work life.

Definition of culture

World artistic culture, or MHC for short, is a type of public culture based on the figurative and creative reproduction of society and people, as well as living and inanimate nature through the means used by professional art and folk artistic culture. These are also phenomena and processes of spiritual practical activities, creating, distributing and mastering material objects and works of art that have aesthetic value. World artistic culture includes the pictorial, sculptural, architectural heritage and monuments, as well as all the diversity of works created by the people and their individual representatives.

The role of MHC as an educational subject

In the course of studying the course of world artistic culture, both broad integration and understanding of the connection of culture are provided, first of all, with historical events of any time period, as well as with the social sciences.

As mentioned earlier, world artistic culture covers all artistic activities that a person has ever engaged in. These are literature, theater, music, visual arts. All processes associated with both the creation and storage, as well as the dissemination, creation and evaluation of cultural heritage are studied. Problems related to ensuring the further cultural life of society and the training of specialists with appropriate qualifications in universities do not remain aside.

As an academic subject, MHC is an appeal to the entire artistic culture, and not to its individual types.

The concept of a cultural era

A cultural era, or cultural paradigm, is a complex multifactorial phenomenon that contains the image of a specific person living in exact time and carrying out its activities, and a community of people with the same way of life, life mood and thinking, and value system.

Cultural paradigms replace each other as a result of a kind of natural-cultural selection through the interaction of traditional and innovative components that art carries. MHC how training course aims to study these processes as well.

What is the Renaissance

One of the most significant periods in the development of culture is the Renaissance, or Revival, which dominated in the 13th-16th centuries. and marked the advent of the New Age. The area that was most impacted was artistic creativity.

After an era of decline in the Middle Ages, art flourishes, and ancient artistic wisdom is revived. It was at this time and in the meaning of “rebirth” that the Italian word rinascita was used, later numerous analogues appeared in European languages, including the French Renaissance. All artistic creativity, primarily fine art, becomes a universal “language” that allows us to learn the secrets of nature and get closer to it. The master does not reproduce nature conventionally, but strives for maximum naturalness, trying to surpass the Almighty. The development of our usual sense of beauty begins, natural science and knowledge of God are constantly finding common ground. During the Renaissance, art becomes both a laboratory and a temple.

Periodization

The revival is divided into several time periods. In Italy - the birthplace of the Renaissance - several periods were identified that were used throughout the world for a long time. This is the Proto-Renaissance (1260-1320), partly included in the Ducento period (13th century). In addition, there were periods of Trecento (XIV century), Quattrocento (XV century), Cinquecento (XVI century).

A more general periodization divides the era into the Early Renaissance (XIV-XV centuries). At this time, new trends interact with the Gothic, which is creatively transformed. Next come the periods of the Middle, or High, and Late Renaissance, in which a special place is given to mannerism, characterized by a crisis in the humanistic culture of the Renaissance.

Also in countries such as France and Holland, the so-called Late Gothic style is developing. As the history of the MHC says, the Renaissance was reflected in Eastern Europe: the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, as well as in the Scandinavian countries. Spain, Great Britain and Portugal became countries with a distinctive Renaissance culture.

Philosophical and religious components of the Renaissance

Through the reflections of such representatives of philosophy of this period as Giordano Bruno, Nicholas of Cusa, Giovanni and Paracelsus, the themes of spiritual creativity, as well as the struggle for the right to call an individual “the second god” and associate a person with him, become relevant in the MHC.

Relevant, as at all times, is the problem of consciousness and personality, faith in God and higher power. There are both compromise-moderate and heretical views on this issue.

A person faces a choice, and the reform of the church of this time implies a Renaissance not only within the framework of the MHC. This is also a person promoted through the speeches of figures of all religious denominations: from the founders of the Reformation to the Jesuits.

The main task of the era. A few words about humanism

During the Renaissance, the education of a new person was of paramount importance. The Latin word humanitas, from which the word humanism is derived, is the equivalent of the Greek word for education.

Within the framework of the Renaissance, humanism calls on a person to master the ancient wisdom that was important for that time and find a path to self-knowledge and self-improvement. Here there is a merging of all the best that other periods that left their mark on the MHC could offer. The Renaissance took the ancient heritage of antiquity, the religiosity and secular code of honor of the Middle Ages, the creative energy and human mind of the New Time, creating a completely new and seemingly perfect type worldview.

Renaissance in various spheres of human artistic activity

During this period, illusory life-like paintings replaced icons, becoming the center of innovation. Landscapes, household paintings, and portraits are actively painted. Printed engraving on metal and wood is widespread. Working sketches of artists become an independent form of creativity. Picture illusoryness is also present in

In architecture, under the influence of architects’ passion for the idea of ​​the centric, proportional temples, palaces and architectural ensembles that emphasize earthly, centrically perspective-organized horizontals are becoming popular.

The literature of the Renaissance is characterized by a love for Latin as the language of educated people, adjacent to national and popular languages. Genres such as the picaresque novel and urban novel, heroic poems and novels of medieval adventure-knight themes, satire, pastoral and love lyrics are becoming popular. At the peak of the popularity of drama, theaters staged performances with an abundance of city holidays and magnificent court extravaganzas, which became the source of colorful syntheses various types arts

In music there is a flourishing of strict musical polyphony. The complication of compositional techniques, the appearance of the first forms of sonatas, operas, suites, oratorios and overtures. Secular music, close to folk music, is becoming equal to religious music. There is a separation of instrumental music into separate species, and the pinnacle of the era was the creation of full-fledged solo songs, operas and oratorios. The temple is being replaced by an opera house, which has taken the place of the center of musical culture.

In general, the main breakthrough is that the once medieval anonymity is being replaced by individual, authorial creativity. In this regard, world artistic culture is moving to a fundamentally new level.

Titans of the Renaissance

It is not surprising that such a fundamental revival of art from the ashes could not have taken place without those people who created a new culture with their creations. They were later called "titans" for the contributions they made.

The Proto-Renaissance was personified by Giotto, and during the Quattrocento period the constructively strict Masaccio and the soulful and lyrical works of Botticelli and Angelico opposed each other.

The middle, or represented by Raphael, Michelangelo and, of course, Leonardo da Vinci - artists who became iconic at the turn of the Modern Age.

Famous architects of the Renaissance were Bramante, Brunelleschi and Palladio. Bruegel the Elder, Bosch and Van Eyck are painters of the Dutch Renaissance. Holbein the Younger, Durer, Cranach the Elder became the founders of the German Renaissance.

The literature of this period remembers the names of such “titan” masters as Shakespeare, Petrarch, Cervantes, Rabelais, who gave the world poetry, novels and drama, and also contributed to the formation of the literary languages ​​of their countries.

Undoubtedly, the Renaissance contributed to the development of many trends in art and gave impetus to the creation of new ones. It is unknown what the history of world artistic culture would have been like if this period had not existed. Perhaps classical art today would not evoke such admiration; most movements in literature, music and painting would not exist at all. Or maybe everything with which we are accustomed to associate classical art would have appeared, but many years or even centuries later. Whatever the course of events, only one thing is clear: even today we admire the works of this era, and this once again proves its importance in the cultural life of society.
