Abstract
The paper deals with the impact of Jurgis Baltrušaitis, a famous art critic and expert of cultures, into the art criticism of the 20th century. The author of this paper shows that Baltrušaitis considerably enriched understanding of the romantic art in general and gothics in particular by revealing the origin and metamorphoses of its fantastic forms. Baltrušaitis proved that art during the Middle Ages and Renaissance became a field of intelectual speculations, creativity and rich fantasy. The author concludes that Jurgis Baltrušaitis, as a creator and a proponent of structural and comparative analysis, showed new possi bilities for medieval studies as well as for inter pretation of the relationship between Western and Eastern cultures.
