Abstract

The purpose of the work is to study the main stages and stylistic characteristics of the work of the People's Artist of Ukraine F. Humenyuk as a bright representative of the Kyiv school of historical painting. The research methodology consists in the application of such scientific research methods as historical, art history, analysis, synthesis, and Semitic, which together made it possible to achieve substantiated research results. The scientific novelty of the work consists in summarising the work of the outstanding Ukrainian artist F. Humenyuk and examining it from the perspective of the formation and development of the Kyiv school of historical painting. Conclusions. As a result of the conducted research, it was established that the work of F. Humenyuk is an important component in the development of the modern Kyiv school of historical painting, within which the artist formed his own unique style, which is based on the deep traditions of folk art, icon painting, Byzantism, Baroque, and Boychukism. In his works, which are characterised by multi-component complex compositions, the historical past and modern artistic versions of his reading are combined. The author's symbolic and allegorical interpretations of historical events and persons are full of many meanings, metaphors and images, forming an original poetic background for reading the stories at a highly professional level. Heading the educational and creative workshop of historical painting for a long time, F. Humenyuk not only educated worthy students, but also significantly influenced the formation of the Kyiv school of historical painting
