Abstract

The article analyses the concept of idealization. The various meanings that are put into it are being analysed. Special attention is paid to the interpretation of idealization in German classical philosophy, especially in Schelling’s philosophical heritage. According to Schelling, the process of idealization implies comprehension and artistic discovery of the ideal essence of things, people and events through its manifestation in figurative and symbolic form. Schelling's idealization opposes, on the one hand, naturalism in art, and, on the other, its rationalistic idealizations of reality in the sense of its embellishment. It is shown the existence of artistic idealization in various genres of fine arts: still-life, landscape, portrait, historical canvases.
