Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article. The article dwells upon the problem of studying the works of the national painting of the nonreligious nature of the ХVІІ - early XIX centuries carried out by domestic experts at the time of the formation of the Ukrainian art science. The methodology of the study is to use methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, as well as hermeneutical and comparative approaches. The study of the process of identifying national traits and evolution of the Ukrainian secular painting of the Cossack times as part of the contemporary interior is presented through the analysis and synthesis of the works of representatives of the Ukrainian art science of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A small proportion of non-church (secular, domestic) subjects in the national painting heritage of the outlined period explain relatively insufficient attention to the study of secular theatrical painting in Ukraine at the time of the formation of domestic scientific art studies. The scientific novelty of the research is to analyze the publications of well-known researchers of the 1890s and 1910s, K. Shyrotsky, D. Scherbakivsky, F. Ernst. The scientific views and evaluative characteristics concerning the most popular subjects of the secular painting of the period have been revealed, in particular, concerning the folk painting "Cossack Mamai"; the role of painting as a component of the Cossack dwellings arrangements is traced. Conclusions. The approval of national ideas in the Baroque era art - the hallmark of spiritual and cultural activities - is interpreted as a vivid manifestation of national self-affirmation of Ukrainians in the writings of various scholars. The materials under study provide feeling the general atmosphere of interest into the problem of national style by representatives of the young science of the art of those times and understand the nature of their further research vector.
