Siberian Collection of European Engravings by G.V. Yudin: the Correctness of Attribution (to the Problem Statement) (Collection sibérienne de gravures européennes de G.V. Yudine: l'attribution correcte (en addition au problème posé)
The article is devoted to the study of a part of the collection that belonged to the Siberian collector and bibliophile G.V. Yudin. The scienti c novelty of the paper is the need to introduce a little-known graphic collection of the Krasnoyarsk Regional Local Lore Museum into the art criticism circulation. The goal is to clarify the attribution of copyright, reproduction and book engravings. The problem of establishing authorship is solved by means of art history analysis with the help of stylistic and biographical methods. The correct translation of proper names (artists, engravers, printers, and publishers) and signatures under graphic works are considered. The scienti c signi cance of the study lies in the creation of an attribution algorithm for a museum work of art (engraving) using a linguistic approach (whether the names of artists and engravers as well as the text under the engraving are translated correctly). The results of the artistic translation of the engraving text (text-legend, book illustration, caricature) are presented. The knowledge of the characters’ language, the author’s intention, and the ability to re ect the unity of the pictorial eld composition with its literary source are taken into account. The authorship is speci ed.
