The name of the forthcoming congress paraphrases Dmitry Sarabianov’s fundamental oeuvre, «Russian Painting of the 19th Century amid European Schools. Comparative Study» (1980). Formed in close interaction with European schools, the Russian school of art studies nevertheless has a number of specifics that have to do with the history and culture of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation of our day. In the two hundred years of their history, art studies in Russia went through different stages and interacted with European art studies in different ways. In part our congress is a sort of revision aimed at rethinking the nature and results of this coexistence that developed ranging from parallel lines to mutual influences, direct or indirect, in different historical periods. It is beyond doubt impossible to address this global task without considering the methods of art studies per se in the broad context of the humanities.
