Research on Serbian Medieval Monuments at the Time of the Internationalisation of Byzantine Studies

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the evolution of research on Serbian medieval monuments within the broader context of the internationalisation of Byzantine studies from the mid‑nineteenth century to the interwar period. It traces the pioneering contributions of domestic and foreign scholars – including Mihailo Valtrović, Dragutin Milutinović, Vladimir R. Petković, Nikodim Kondakov, Petr Pokryshkin, Gabriel Millet, and Gheorghe Balș – who laid the foundations for the academic study of Serbian medieval art, with particular emphasis on architecture. The article highlights the growing scholarly interest in Serbian heritage, especially in the context of emerging academic institutions and expanding international collaboration. Special attention is given to the methodological innovations, academic networks, and institutional frameworks that shaped the study of Serbian medieval art during this period, contributing to its recognition within the international field of Byzantine studies.
