| Popis | This paper examines the establishment and early history of the Institute of Georgian Art History within the Georgian SSR Academy of Sciences, founded in February 1941, just a few months before the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Ironically, the Institute was led by Professor Giorgi Chubinashvili, a prominent art historian with German training, and supported by his first assistant, Rene Schmerling, a Georgian-born scholar of German descent. Drawing on and further developing the formalist methodology of Heinrich Wölfflin, the Institute played a crucial role in shaping the historiography of the Georgian nation. |
