Abstract
The significant role of Parisian artistic life in the history of Russian sculpture has been confirmed by numerous studies devoted to the evolution of Russian plastic art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Studying in Paris was a significant stage in the development of Russian artists, as it completed their artistic education. Interaction with leading French masters, studying the collections of the oldest museums, and participating in the exhibition practices of the French capital shaped their worldview and helped them develop their creative individuality. The aim of this article is to determine the extent of research into the relationship between Russian and French schools of sculpture in Russian art history during that period. Particular attention is given to issues on this topic that are currently underexplored and require further exploration. The object of this study is Russian critical and scholarly texts devoted to Russian and European sculpture, dating from the late 19th century to the present day. The subject of this study is the evolution of scholarly views on the development of Russian sculpture within the context of the artistic life of Paris in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
