Abstract

The present essay introduces a special forum on the Russian art world and its engagement with Western Europe during the eighteenth century. The guest editor recounts the origins of this international collaborative project, describes the main themes that inform the work of participating scholars, and explains the effect that Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has had on the nature of their enterprise. She concludes by arguing for the importance of both trans-national and post-colonial approaches to the study of eighteenth-century Imperial Russian art.
