Summary/Abstract: Based on texts and ideas of romanticism, this article discusses the assumption that the new theory of synaesthesia and artistic practices emerged from the romantic philosophy of art. In particular, it emerged from romantic consciousness newly aware of the internal arts tectonics and their interoperability problems. The potential of the theory, artistic practice and the new problem-solving aspects of synesthesia are rooted in the Romantic art philosophy. Later, on the basis of specific theoretical concepts analysis, we show how the romantic generation of thinkers and artists, because of their universality and openness to various art forms, influenced the further development of the theory of synaesthesia.
