From its founding, the Institute\u2019s founders studied architectural monuments from the 5th\u20137th, 8th\u20139th, and 10th\u201312th centuries, examining their typologies and regional groups (G. Chubinashvili, V. Beridze, R. Mepisashvili, L. Rcheulishvili, R. Shmerling, N. Severov, N. Chubinashvili, V. Tsinadze), a line of inquiry continued by subsequent generations of researchers (I. Gomelauri, M. Dvali, V. Dolidze, T. Sanikidze, T. Sakvarelidze). From the late 1940s, the architecture of 13th\u201314th century churches became a significant topic of study (V. Beridze, N. Andghuladze, I. Gomelauri, T. Sanikidze), while in the 1960s, attention expanded to include late medieval ecclesiastical buildings (V. Beridze).\r\nAlongside examples of Georgian architecture, fine arts, and minor arts from different periods (pre-Christian, medieval, 19th\u201320th centuries), the Institute also conducted research on the history of antique, Sasanian, Byzantine, Armenian, Islamic, Western European, and Russian art.\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"accordion-card\" onclick=\"this.classList.toggle('open')\">\r\n    <div class=\"accordion-header\">Architecture<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"accordion-content\">\r\n      Substantial research has been conducted on secular architecture (V. Beridze, L. Rcheulishvili, V. Tsinadze) and traditional vernacular housing (V. Beridze, L. Rcheulishvili, V. Tsinadze), as well as on so-called minor architectural forms, such as khankeli and stelae (R. Shmerling, N. Chubinashvili, K. Machabeli).\r\nFrom the late 1970s, a new generation of architectural historians began working at the Institute. In addition to continuing studies in the aforementioned areas (K. Abashidze, G. Marsagishvili, B. Matsaberidze, D. Tchakhadze, G. Chilashvili), they focused specifically on the characteristics of the \u201ctransitional period\u201d and regional schools (I. Elizbarashvili, N. Vacheshvili, D. Tumanishvili, D. Khoshtaria). Key research problems were addressed, including the relationship between liturgy and architecture, as well as the notions of \u201carchitectural replica\u201d and symbolism in medieval Georgian architecture (N. Chubinashvili, K. Abashidze, I. Elizbarashvili, N. Vacheshvili, D. Tumanishvili, D. Khoshtaria).\r\nThe Institute also studied 19th-century architecture (V. Beridze, V. Tsinadze, L. Rcheulishvili, T. Gersamia) as well as architecture of the Soviet period (V. Beridze, R. Mepisashvili, N. Janberidze, N. Asatiani, I. Gomelauri, S. Kintsurashvili, G. Beridze).\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"accordion-card\" onclick=\"this.classList.toggle('open')\">\r\n    <div class=\"accordion-header\">Wall Painting<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"accordion-content\">\r\n      Alongside medieval architecture, wall painting has held a significant place in the Institute\u2019s research agenda. In its first decades, greater attention was devoted to murals of the 10th\u201313th centuries (T. Virsaladze, N. Aladashvili, G. Alibegashvili, A. Volskaia, E. Privalova, R. Shmerling). From the 1970s\u20131980s, researchers such as M. Didebulidze, A. Kldiashvili, K. Mikeladze, A. Okropiridze, Z. Skhirtladze, and M. Qenia contributed significantly to the field.\r\nLater, interest emerged in works from the Palaeologan period and the late Middle Ages (N. Alexidze, F. Devdariani, M. Vachnadze, J. Iosebidze, I. Lortkipanidze, L. Shervashidze, I. Mamaishvili, A. Kldiashvili, K. Mikeladze, I. Khuskivadze, M. Janjalia). At the same time, the study of \u201cclassical\u201d murals increasingly emphasized iconographic and thematic issues (T. Virsaladze, E. Privalova, M. Didebulidze, A. Kldiashvili, A. Okropiridze, Z. Skhirtladze, M. Qenia).\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n   <div class=\"accordion-card\" onclick=\"this.classList.toggle('open')\">\r\n    <div class=\"accordion-header\">Ornamentation of the Georgian Manuscript\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"accordion-content\">\r\n      The Institute also conducted research on the ornamentation of medieval Georgian manuscripts (R. Shmerling), including both ecclesiastical miniatures (G. Alibegashvili, F. Devdariani, G. Zhghenti, L. Shervashidze) and secular miniatures (G. Alibegashvili, I. Khuskivadze, L. Shervashidze), as well as on icon painting (G. Alibegashvili, L. Khuskivadze, N. Chichinadze).\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  \r\n   <div class=\"accordion-card\" onclick=\"this.classList.toggle('open')\">\r\n    <div class=\"accordion-header\">Medieval Sculpture\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"accordion-content\">\r\n     The main historical stages of medieval Georgian sculpture were established by G. Chubinashvili, primarily based on the reliefs of 5th\u20137th century churches and metalwork from the 9th\u201318th centuries. Subsequent research has expanded and enriched this framework, focusing on early Christian and 8th\u201311th century stelae and architectural carved reliefs (N. Aladashvili, G. Alibegashvili, A. Volskaia, K. Machabeli, L. Rcheulishvili, L. Shanidze, N. Chubinashvili; from the 1980s \u2013 T. Khundadze).\r\nSeveral studies also address Late Antique sculpture (M. Mizandari), Early Christian works (L. Shervashidze), and 12th-century mosaics (G. Alibegashvili, T. Virsaladze, L. Khuskivadze).\r\n <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  \r\n  <div class=\"accordion-card\" onclick=\"this.classList.toggle('open')\">\r\n    <div class=\"accordion-header\">Metalwork\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"accordion-content\">\r\n    Georgian metalwork was studied as a distinct field, analyzed both chronologically (13th century \u2013 T. Sakvarelidze, R. Qenia; 16th\u201317th centuries \u2013 T. Sakvarelidze, L. Khuskivadze) and regionally (the Svan school \u2013 R. Qenia). Other branches of medieval \u201cminor arts\u201d were also subjects of research: enamel (L. Khuskivadze), glyptics and flags (S. Barnaveli), wood carving (N. Chubinashvili), ceramics (Z. Maisuradze), and artistic textiles and embroidery (V. Beridze, M. Ketskhveli). <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  \r\n  <div class=\"accordion-card\" onclick=\"this.classList.toggle('open')\">\r\n    <div class=\"accordion-header\">19th\u2013 and 20th-Century Painting, Graphic Arts, Scenography, Sculpture, and Decorative-Applied Arts \r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"accordion-content\">\r\n    Many researchers specializing in early and medieval art also conducted studies on 19th- and 20th-century painting, graphic arts, scenography, sculpture, and decorative-applied arts (V. Beridze, N. Aladashvili, G. Alibegashvili, M. Vachnadze, A. Volskaia, A. Kldiashvili, Z. Maisuradze, I. Lortkipanidze, K. Machabeli, E. Privalova, L. Rcheulishvili, R. Qenia, G. Chubinashvili, N. Chubinashvili, L. Shervashidze, R. Shmerling).\r\nFor others, however, these fields became the primary focus of their research. Among the first were M. Karbelashvili (book and easel graphics; easel and monumental painting) and L. Shanidze (sculpture, graphics). Subsequent generations of art historians studied the works and contemporary phenomena of prominent masters of 20th-century painting, graphic arts, and sculpture (S. Ioseliani, L. Antelava, M. Gachechiladze, K. Kintsurashvili, D. Lebanidze, S. Lezhava, M. Medzmariashvili, N. Mirtskhulava, N. Ghaghanidze, M. Tsitsishvili, G. Khoshtaria), theater design (E. Tumanishvili, K. Kintsurashvili, M. Oklei), and decorative-applied arts (M. Maisuradze, N. Qifiani).\r\nResearch also emerged focusing on specific topics, such as 19th-century painting (G. Maskharashvili, M. Tsitsishvili, G. Khoshtaria) and the oeuvre of Niko Pirosmani (G. Khoshtaria).\r\n<\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <!-- Add more cards as needed -->\r\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0cfb51 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c0cfb51\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7b4460 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e7b4460\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68f40de elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"68f40de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Georgian art historians consistently engaged with the art of other countries in their research, producing studies that highlighted similarities and differences between Georgian medieval architecture (G. Chubinashvili, V. Beridze, R. Mepisashvili), painting (G. Alibegashvili, M. Didebulidze, E. Privalova, I. Khuskivadze), and sculpture (N. Aladashvili, L. Khuskivadze) and the artistic achievements of neighboring and distant cultures. Institute researchers examined Armenian architecture (G.
