Abstract
The article is devoted to the series of Oriental sketches created by V.D. Polenov during his journey to the East in 1882. The main object of the study are the landscapes belonging to the second part of the artist’s trip, after he leaves Jerusalem and moves from the Dead Sea, along the Jordan, to Lake Genisaret and further north to the limits of the Biblical lands. During this time the “set” of stable landscape motifs to which the artist refers in his sketches changes. The artist’s own movement from the place of Christ’s execution and passionate journey to the lands of his ministry and birth corresponds to his move from the solid and cave motifs to the waters in his sketches. And the water motif itself undergoes various changes correlating to Christian symbolism of the places Polenov visits. The internal theme of the series of field sketches from the Holy Land is associated with the semantics of the Gospel cycle.
