Abstract

The article reveals the ways of studying the features of the core concepts of Russian cultural identity representation in the Russian art of the 16–17th centuries, considered in its continuous dynamic and dialectical development at the key stages of formation and transformation. The relevance of the study stems from the fact that among a significant number of works on the problems of Russian art of the late Middle Ages and the beginning of the New Time, there are no special scientific works in which this topic would be considered as the main one. It is particularly important to define what the fundamental (archetypal) grounds of cultural identity is, how it is transformed at a turning point of history. The author suggests methods and approaches to solve the problem. One of the most significant scientific approach is the integrity of the investigation. It consists of comprehension of sustainable historical core of cultural identity and its embodiment in the art in all the chronological stages of the study period. The factor of identity stands out as a crucial element, synthesizing various determinants, that act in the development of art. The novelty consists of the authors’ identity reflection concepts in art and the use of a number of authors’ techniques to reveal semantic and stylistic formula of identity embodiment in the works of artists. The author gives a justification for the application of the inter-textual method of identifying the essential foundations of cultural identity, the textual method of structural and formulae analysis of the musical hymnographic works of medieval art, the element – structural method of research of manuscript ornamentation art. The solution of this problem will complement modern scientific ideas about cultural identity in the art and spiritual culture of Russia
