Franz Kugler, the author of «Handbook of art history», in the second edition of his book refers to the art of Armenia in the chapter dedicated to the art of the medieval East. The text is based on the study of the ways of interaction of traditions in the artistic life of the region. The author analyzes the specificity of formation of the figurative language of art of Armenia, revealing the influence of Byzantine and medieval European traditions, the impact of arabesques and local, regional specificity. F. Kugler builds a hierarchy of influences, showing parallels with the later Romanesque and Gothic styles in Europe. Ignoring the peculiarity of the national variant of medieval art, researcher emphasizes the negative aspects of the development of artistic traditions of the region, believing such interaction is the sign of gradual decline of art. On the basis of the formal-stylistic and comparative analysis the German scientist try to determine the place of the Armenian artistic practice of the middle ages in the context of European and Eastern traditions of the era.
