The aestheticised female corpse as an image is a central motif in European art. In Russian culture, it is typically connected to the Orthodox icon. This study examines the petrification of living female figures as dead bodies. It traces the variety of functions and meanings these bodies unfold and reveals the arising aesthetically productive tensions between religion, ethics and art, between this world and beyond.
