Unlike its understanding in antiquity, poetic ekphrasis among Russian Symbolists and post-Symbolists does not imply a literal description of a work of art. This talk, using the unexamined examples of ekphrasis by Ellis and P. Antokolsky, will demonstrate how certain works of art inspired poets not so much to describe a painting verbatim, but rather to capture the poetic impression of the artwork, its interpretation, and comprehension. This becomes evident when considering the biographical and historical-literary context.
