The article is devoted to the study of Sterne’s reminiscences in the novel The Letters of a Russian Traveller by Karamzin. They are studied as a globally organized artistic system, linked with the concept of English literature, shaped in Karamzin’s works between 1780 –1790, as well as with the writer’s thoughts on other philosophical and aesthetic problems. «Sterne’s plot» in the novel The Letters of a Russian Traveller by Karamzin develops together with other plots, whose cooperation formed a forward-looking dynamic poetic manner of narration in the book.
The article focuses on the analysis of notions of reminiscence and nostalgia through the example of Claude Lorrain’s marine paintings. Unlike the Arcadian landscapes of his contemporary Nicolas Poussin, these often do not evoke concrete myths, but inspire less obvious reminiscences in the viewer. Lorrain’s paintings can be conceived therefore as allegories of nostalgia, a category that the article approaches with the help of that of Nothing. It aims to show that it is through the particular light effects that Lorrain’s landscapes and marine paintings suggest a sense of timeless and nostalgic reminiscences to the viewer.
