Description
Русский: Неизвестный иностранный(?) художник. "Аллегория на основание Академии художеств". Вторая половина 1750-х. Холст, масло. ГТГ. 79,5х66,3. Эта работа представляет собой довольно редкий даже для искусства России XVIII столетия тип живописной аллегории. В ней прославляются деяния императрицы Елизаветы Петровны, медальон с профильным портретом которой держит в руках античная богиня мудрости Минерва. Справа вверху изображен Геркулес с палицей в руке, что служит намеком на воинские победы России в Семилетней войне, которую она вела с 1756 по 1763 годы. Муза истории Клио вписывает в книгу, лежащую на спине Сатурна (или Кроноса, олицетворяющего время), новое великое деяние государыни – основание Императорской Академии трех знатнейших художеств. Фигурки путти с атрибутами трех искусств (палитра, кирпич и скульптурная голова) олицетворяют живопись, архитектуру и скульптуру, а младенец с огнем во лбу – юного гения российских искусств.
