Summary

This study reveals how political agendas have shaped the concept of 'Old Bulgarian Art,' particularly in relation to the cultural heritage of Macedonia. It demonstrates that nationalistic disputes and wartime policies, especially during conflicts like World War I, influenced the formation of key arguments and theses in Balkan art history. The research critically analyzes the involvement of Bulgarian and Balkan scholars in state-driven narratives, often mobilized to justify territorial claims or military occupations. By examining archival materials from institutions like the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Central State Archive, alongside published literature, the study exposes the intersection of academic discourse with geopolitical interests, challenging the objectivity of historical art interpretations.
