Abstract
The article is devoted to the interpretation of images of the city of Feodosia in the creativity of Konstanin F. Bogaevsky – the representative of the “Cimmerian painting school”. The results of the study of the milestones of the artist’s creative biography are presented, arranged in chronological order, taking into account the peculiarities of changes in the stylistic manner and the aesthetic tasks that he solves. The parameters and circle of masters of the “Cimmerian painting school” are described. Having chosen the mysterious country of Cimmeria as the main theme of his work at the very beginning of his work, he embodied it in large panoramic paintings and small-format drawings and watercolors, marked by high skill and deep mythology. The article tells about the artist’s workshop, which has become a place of attraction for many guests representing the creative intellectuals of Moscow and Leningrad. The contribution of the native of Feodosia and admirer of the work of Konstantin F. Bogaevsky – Ivan M.Sarkizov-Serazini to the enlightenment of his native city among the fashionable resorts of the early 20th century and the fate of his extraordinary collection is highlighted.
