Abstract. The article outlines the evolution of the mimetic image of nature in staffage paintings in icon art of Halychyna of the 17th-18th centuries. The role of «mimesis» in landscapes in religious scenes is opened from the position of its perceptive necessity and sprea­ding the ideas of humanism in the Ukrainian culture. Relevance of empirical world­view caused imitation of subject pastoral compositions of Western­European art, appearance of illusory (backstage) type of depicting a perspective, light­and­shade modeling of the objects of staffage.

Keywords: mimesis, landscapes, icon paintings of Halychyna, empirical world­view, objects of staffage.
