BASIC STAGES OF THE ALGORITHM OF RECONSTRUCTION OF ANCIENT GREEK EASEL PAINTING IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN TECHNOLOGICAL POSSIBILITIES

Abstract

The purpose of the article. Based on available historical information to form an algorithm scheme of action that allows you to create a reconstruction of lost composition of easel painting outstanding masters of Ancient Greece. The methodology of the research is based on the application of historical, cultural, artistic, and biographical approaches. The research used methods of computer modeling and analysis that allowed improving the accuracy of the results. To carry out the reconstruction of a particular work, it is necessary to make an integral representation of such a phenomenon as ancient Greek easel painting, for which it is essential to consider its main aspects: origin, development, principles of classical painting, technology of encaustic painting, influence on other types of fine arts, (philosophy, practi- cal use, subject matter). The scientific novelty is to create a scheme of actions which have the aim to restore the image as close as possible to the lost original. Conclusions. Depending on the available historical material, reconstruction of lost images of ancient greek easel painting with a greater or lesser degree of probability is possible. The proposed algo- rithm of the article allows for solving this problem. It is established the essential, necessary items for the restoration of the lost pictorial works of art. The primary reconstruction algorithm is described: the drawing, composition, and method- ology of the work of ancient Greek art. Systematized Hellenistic Greek colors according to the scheme "Colored Square". A sequence has been developed for the reconstruction of the central figure of Apelles' work: "Aphrodite Anadiomena."
