The purpose of the article is to find out the role of the Kievskaya Starina magazine in the study of Ukrainian art and its popularisation, as well as to identify the main trends of the publication of art studies materials in the magazine. The research methodology is based on both general scientific (logical and dialectical) and special methods (systematic, historical, and comparative). Scientific novelty. For the first time, the Kievskaya Starina magazine is analysed through the prism of publications of an artistic nature, the main varieties and role of such publications in the formation of Ukrainian art studies are identified. Conclusions. The Kievskaya Starina magazine, published in 1882–1906 during the existence of the Russian Empire under censorship and pressure on the Ukrainian cultural movement, had a significant impact on the formation and development of Ukrainian art studies. There are publications and documentary materials related to the development and state of Ukrainian art, paintings and music (in particular, the work of bandurysts and kobzars), architectural monuments, etc. The iconographic content of an artistic nature contains publications of reproductions of portraits of figures of Ukrainian culture, science, and politics, artistic illustration drawings that reproduced scenes from Ukrainian life, nature, architecture, individual household items, etc., in particular, there are reproductions of drawings by T. Shevchenko. The article defines the peculiarity of the approach to the publication of illustrative material, which serves not so much as an appendix to information, but as a propaganda of Ukrainian culture. The focus is on the initiation of certain scientific areas, in particular the iconography of the Ukrainian Cossack elite, during the functioning of the magazine. It is proved that many Ukrainian cultural and artistic figures (D. Antonovych, I. Karpenko-Kary, M. Kropyvnytskyi, M. Lysenko, O. Slastion, D. Shcherbakivskyi, etc.) of the late 19th – early 20th centuries are directly connected with the publication of the magazine as authors or editorial members, which confirms the special significance of Kievskaya Starina in cultural and art studies discourse. Today, it still has scientific potential due to the concentration of a significant amount of relevant information.
