Aivazovsky seascape restored to Armenia
Jun 3, 2011 21:16 Moscow Time
A painting by the 19th-century Russian seascapist Ivan Aivazovsky is
back in Armenia 21 years after being stolen from an office in Yerevan.
It is now part of the collection of the National Picture Gallery in
the Armenian capital.
A Russian Senator of Armenian extraction named Oganes Oganian withdrew
it from a Moscow auction and sent to Yerevan after being informed that
the picture was a stolen property item.
Ivan Aivazovsky, too, was of Armenian origin.
