LYSUN Yaryna

Abstract. The article examines the process of dissemination, adaptation and interpretation of the traditions of Western European monumental painting of the Baroque era in the art of Central European countries.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the processes of spreading the artistic traditions of the Western European monumental painting of the Baroque era in the countries of Central Europe on the example of the artistic realizations of prominent representatives of the monumental painting of these countries.

The object of the study is the wall painting of the churches of the countries of Western and Central Europe of the XVII—XVIII centuries.

The subject of the study is the reflection of the artistic traditions of the Western European Baroque in the wall paintings of the churches of the countries of Central Europe.

The results of the study indicate that the art of the countries of Central Europe during the XVII—XVIII centuries developed in close interaction with Western European art. At the same time, along with imitating the works of Western European masters, interpretation of these traditions took place at local levels, and national art schools with their own artistic and stylistic features were formed accordingly.

Research methodology. This study is based on art history methods of stylistic and comparative analysis, as well as general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis.

Keywords: murals, techniques and methods of illusionistic (trompe-l’oeil) painting, decorative-ornamental and perspective-realistic directions of wall painting, blinding, artistic and stylistic features, baroque, rococo, classicism, artistic traditions of Western and Central European countries.
