150th Anniversary of G. Bashindjagkyan in National Gallery
Today a meeting was organized in the National Gallery celebrating the
150 anniversary of the famous Armenian artist Gevorg
Bashindjagkyan. Paravon Mirzoyan, the head of the gallery, said that
he was the first Armenian national painter, `He was the first one to
glorify our country.’
Bashindjagkyan’s best friends came to celebrate his anniversary,
too. They mentioned particularly that he was not only a landscape
painter but also portrait painter, his heroes became the symbols of
our country: Ararat, Aragats, Sevan.
Besides, Bashindjagkyan’s granddaughters were present at the meeting,
too. They visited Armenia from Moscow especially for this reason: to
celebrate their grandfather’s 150th anniversary.
