In this presentation, Ani Babaian talked about S. Amenaprkich Vank’s murals —the artistic styles, the artists, the projects to conserve the murals, and new findings discovered during the conservation process.
The works of Armenian medieval mural paintings stand out for their artistic merits, with often original iconography and are of great importance not only for Armenian, but also for world art. Mural painting (fresco) is one of the oldest branches of Armenian art, one which is inextricably linked with architecture. Ancient samples of mural painting in Armenia have been preserved from the times of the Kingdom of Urartu (Ararat), 8-7th centuries BC.
