The article attempts to reconstruct the theoretical foundations for the development of living pictures in France in the late 18th century. The research is based on a group of texts written by Western European theoreticians and practitioners of fine art and theater, which explore ideas about the interaction between theater and painting from Antique treatises to Enlightenment works. Special emphasis is placed on the works of French writers from the 17th and 18th centuries. The methodological approach draws upon the methods of art criticism and theater studies, allowing us to comprehensively address the issue at the interaction of these two art forms. The novelty of this research lies in the work with less studied materials and sources in in the Russian academic field regarding the theories and history of living pictures, work with periodicals, and an attempt to construct and typologise a multifaceted image of cause-and-effect relationships between theater and painting through the lens of the phenomenon itself.
