Статья посвящена рассмотрению трактовки ветхозаветного сюжета победы Давида над Голиафом (Первая книга Царств) в живописных произведениях художников Италии XV в. Автор сосредоточивает внимание на декоративных композициях повествовательного характера, выполненных Пезеллино, Джованни ди Сер Джованни (по прозвищу Скеджа) и Андреа дель Кастаньо. Живописные образы рассмотрены в контексте культурных тенденций и идеалов эпохи Возрождения, а также в контексте параллельно развивающейся изобразительной традиции представления библейского героя в статуарной пластике. В статье уделено внимание источникам иконографии декоративных росписей - средневековой книжной миниатюре, произведениям декоративно-прикладного искусства Византии, а также текстовым источникам, обусловившим смысловое прочтение образа, в частности Псалтири. В декоративных росписях мастера предпринимают попытки адаптировать сложившиеся в миниатюре иконографические типы к формату многофигурной картины. The essay deals to the interpretations of Old Testament plot “the young David’s victory over Goliath” (First Book of Kingdoms) in Italian domestic paintings of XVth century. The author focuses on narratives compositions, made by Pezellino, Giovanni di Ser Giovanni (Scheggia) and Andrea del Castaño. The pictorial images are considered in the context of cultural tendencies and ideals of the Renaissance, as well as in the context of a parallel developing tradition of representing the biblical hero in the statuary plastic. The article pays attention to the sources of iconography in decorative paintings - medieval book miniatures, works of decorative art of Byzantium, as well as textual sources, that determined semantic reading of the image (in particular, the Psalter). In decorative paintings the iconographic types, established in miniature, were adapted to the format of a larger multi-figure painting.

Artistic Heritage

The publication aims to draw the attention of Ukrainian scholars and researchers of Ukrainian cultural heritage to study the work of a unique domestic artist of monumental and decorative art, whose name is included in the list of prominent figures of world heritage of the twentieth century - Alexander Saenko. O. Saenko's artistic heritage includes more than 500 works of painting, graphics and monumental and decorative art: decorative panels, carpets, tapestries, etc. But O. Saenko possessed the technique of straw inlay most perfectly. He subtly felt the diversity of sacred energies that give "joy to people." It was in the colors of straw that O. Saenko saw such energy. O. Saenko's paintings are not only artistically perfect, but also the vast majority of them are filled with nationalpatriotic content. Among them, one of the most famous is the decorative painting "Kozak Mamai" (1928, 1936). The analysis of O. Saenko's paintings shows that they are deeply folk, and therefore perceived as modern in their content and style.

The Concept of Palestine is deeply rooted in the collective consciousness of the indigenous people of Palestine and the multicultural ancient past. The name Palestine is the most commonly used from the Late Bronze Age (from 1300 BCE) onwards. The name Palestine is evident in countless histories, inscriptions, maps and coins from antiquity, medieval and modern Palestine. From the Late Bronze Age onwards the names used for the region, such as Djahi, Retenu and Cana'an, all gave way to the name Palestine. Throughout Classical Antiquity the name Palestine remained the most common and during the Roman, Byzantine and Islamic periods the concept and political geography of Palestine acquired official administrative status. This article sets out to explain the historical origins of the concept of Palestine and the evolving political geography of the country. It will seek to demonstrate how the name ‘Palestine’ (rather than the term ‘Cana'an’) was most commonly and formally used in ancient history. It argues that the legend of the ‘Israelites’ conquest of Cana'an’ and other master narratives of the Bible evolved across many centuries; they are myth-narratives, not evidence-based accurate history. It further argues that academic and school history curricula should be based on historical facts/empirical evidence/archaeological discoveries – not on master narratives or Old Testament sacred-history and religio-ideological constructs.
