Baltic Journal of Art History

Aims & Scope

THE BALTIC JOURNAL OF ART HISTORY is an official publication of the Department of Art History of the Institute of History and Archaeology of the University of Tartu.

It is published by the University of Tartu Press in cooperation with the Department of Art History.

The concept of the journal is to ask contributions from different authors whose ideas and research findings in terms of their content and high academic quality invite them to be published.

We are mainly looking forward to lengthy articles of monographic character as well as shorter pieces where the issues raised or the new facts presented cover topics that have not yet been shed light on or open up new art geographies.
