Abstract
The assimilation of Byzantine culture in the Slavic lands was accompanied by the exegesis of the New Testament and the formation of the phenomenal value of symbolic images, which were part of the literary and artistic consciousness of that time. The force field of Christian archetypes has preserved a long tradition in the Ukrainian literature. Christian archetypes of the Resurrection and the Crucifixion in Shevchenko’s painting and literary work are studied with modern approaches to comparative literature and theological exegesis, taking into account artistic Christology, philosophical and aesthetic approach to art, and key ideas of archetypal interpretation. It is found out that, in Shevchenko’s poetry, the archetypes of the Resurrection and the Crucifixion are manifested in a number of modifications, where resurrection / crucifixion has a symbolic meaning in the sense of the resurrection / crucifixion of Ukraine, the resurrection / crucifixion of the people, the resurrection / crucifixion of a lyrical hero, etc. In painting, Christian archetypes are directly related to the transmission of the New Testament history.
