The paper proposes an Integrated Model on Intercultural Axis of the Baroque Esthetics, based on the concept of Synthesis of Arts, which unites different art forms into artistic whole. It continues the scientific research achieved by publishing other studies and articles in some journals or proceedings of international or national conferences, which were devoted to intermediacy. The author proves that synthesis of arts in the Baroque era is a result of actualization of interspecific interaction of spatial and temporal kinds of arts, aimed at the intention to recover the elements of lost synthesis in dialectics of development of art as such. Its kinds were historically generated forms of art activity, that allowed the specific means of material embodiment (sound in music, word in literature, plastic and coloristic means in fine art, etc.) to represent artistic picture of life. The work can be useful to both theorists and practitioners in the field of Art, Cultural and Comparative Studies.

Research on the topic of creation is being carried out in every period of human history since the beginning of primitive societies. Mankind tries to give meaning to life by researching the creation of the universe and the creation of mankind. The more questions regarding to his/her own creation are answered, the more an individual’s acceptance of his/her own role in society and shaping his/her life accordingly. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the process of creation within the framework of history of religions and mythological sources. Michelangelo Buonarroti's fresco on Sistine Chapel in Vatican was evaluated in respect to creation and references for Mesopotamian civilizations, Old and New Testaments. During the evaluation, each of the periods of creation were handled separately. Traces of Sumer mythology, Babylonian mythology, Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology, Old Testament and New Testament were investigated in these scenes. During the research, literature analysis was made with available resources by using the disciplines of mythology and religion and thereafter applying content analysis. The research was limited by Mesopotamian civilizations, Old Testament and New Testament sources.

The author shares his impressions from rereading (after an interval of many years) The Magic Mountain and Doctor Faustus and attempts comparing the two novels and subjecting them to a criticism of sort. The musical motifs of both works are examined in greater detail, and owing to the brief form of his statement the author tries to characterise problems involving music in a very general fashion so as to emphasize the differences in Mann’s music-oriented reflections, which occurred in the time separating the two works.

The transition to the free market economy in the two sides of the Atlantic (UKUSA) is seen to have profound effects on art. This process has led companies to intervene in the arts and thus art to be involved in the consumption culture. The use of art as a popular tool in the capitalist system has also brought about the role of companies in determining their liking. In this study we try to remark some company policies on art.

Andrea Boscoli (1564–1606), born in Florence, was the student of Santi di Tito and Buontalenti. Unappreciated in his home town he began seeking good fortune (and commissions) outside its walls, working for the Church and prosperous patrons in Tuscany, Marche, and Liguria. The characteristic features of his frescoes, painted in early spring or autumn, were watered-down dark colours and the great expression of depicted figures. Probably in 1591 Boscoli accepted a commission for decorating a villa belonging to Pietro dela Seta in Corliano, near Pisa, which he embellished with grotesques, portraits of founders, and vedute. In the ballroom, however, Boscoli executed his opus magnum – a Mannerist fresco: ‘Il Convivio degli dei’. Inspired by Plato’s ‘Symposium’ and Ovid’s ‘Metamorphoses’ the fresco is a multi-level treatise on astrology and a study about melancholy; primarily, it is the author’s self-portrait, an unequalled depiction of the status of the artist in an epoch of great revolutions (in science, religion, and art), a perfect rendition of the fears, hopes, and anxieties of the end of the sixteenth century. ‘The Metamorphoses of Boscoli’ is an attempt at capturing the phenomenon of this monumental artwork.

Lotus Lykke Skov describes the blindfolded walking events experienced in the botanical garden of Aarhus, on the hills surrounding the city or during foreign study-tours, and creates a theoretical background for these performative walks with the help of phenomenology. We can read about the development of the conception and the selection of sites and routes in the paper Sensescapes. The Phenomenology of Sensorial Relationships with Landscapes translated by Melinda Kiss.
