Annotation
This article examines the artistic heritage of Turkestan in the late 19th – early 20th centuries through the lens of Orientalism theory. It explores how the image of the East was constructed in visual arts, architecture, photography, and ethnographic illustrations during the Russian Empire period, highlighting mechanisms of stereotyping and exoticization. The study also addresses the interaction between local and European artistic traditions and the connection of this cultural phenomenon to colonial policy. Conducted at the intersection of multiple disciplines, the research reveals the role of Orientalism in shaping the perception and interpretation of cultural heritage.
