Abstract
As the title implies, the article describes the content of the concepts of imagology and artistic imagology. Also, the authors give a description of the concepts of travelogue and the most successful of them are indicated. The authors’ attention is given to the development of artistic imagology as a way of learning a foreign culture. This aspect is based on the example of L. Stern’s «Sentimental travel». This area is also complemented by the consideration of the travelogue of French Marquis Astolphe de Custine «Russia in 1839». The authors come to the conclusion that imagology reflected in the travelogues gives a visual perception of the people and the country, their culture and lifestyle.
