Abstract
Aim. To reconstruct the dynamics of Pushkin’s perception and artistic reproduction of the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Methodology. The aesthetic function of the religious symbol and its role in the formation of the axiological system of Pushkin's late lyrics are established. The transformation of the medieval genre of visions as a source of poetic inspiration is considered. The sophological perspective of love poetry is revealed, which later formed the artistic mythology of Eternal Femininity. With the help of generative and hermeneutic analysis of Pushkin’s poems “Madonna” (1830), “There lived a poor knight…” (1829), “To*** (“I remember a wonderful moment…”)” (1825), the semantic layers of imagery linking Russian and European poetry about love in a religious and sophistic context are revealed.
Results. It is concluded that in a number of Pushkin’s poems there are not only allusions to European art, but also a deep experience of spiritual lyrical and mystical experience of Beauty, Love, and Femininity.
Research implications. The results of the study expand and complement the understanding of cultural sources, context and possibilities of interpretation of classical poems by A.S.Pushkin in the system of discourse and the phenomenon of increment of meanings.
