The paper deals with reception of the Spanish pictural images presented in the Russian fiction of the XIX - early XX centuries. The material of the study are works by I.A. Goncharov, A.F. Pisemsky, N.S. Leskov, N.D. Khvoshchinskaya, N.A. Leykin, L.N. Andreev, A.T. Averchenko. The analysis results show that the theme of the Spanish painting in the Russian fiction is focused on images of two painters - Bartolome Murillo and Diego Velazquez. What is more, with time there is a shift of contexts in which the writers put the images of the Spanish painters and their masterpieces. If in the middle of the XIX century these images are markers of the high art sphere that connect the Russian space with the latter, in the early XX century they represent gaps between elite classic art and mass culture of the epoch fin de siècle.

This article explores the role of visuality in the identity politics of fin-de-siècle Catalonia. It engages with the recent reevaluation of the visual, both as a source for the history of modern nation-building, and as a constitutive element in the emergence of civic identities in the liberal urban environment. In doing so, it offers a reading of the mutually constitutive relationship of the built environment and the print media in late-nineteenth century Catalonia, and explores the role of this relation as the mechanism by which the so-called ‘imagined communities’ come to exist. Engaging with debates on urban planning and educational policies, it challenges established views on the interplay between tradition and modernity in modern nation-building, and reveals long-term connections between late-nineteenth-century imaginaries and early-twentieth-century beliefs and practices.
