A 3.5 m tall bronze statue of the great marinist Hovhannes Ayvazovsky was opened on May 1st near the Yerevan chamber music hall. Firmly standing in the waves of a stormy sea, in a selfless element, the great Armenian marinist creates his new canvas. This is the way sculptor Yuri Petrosyan depicted Hovhannes Ayvazovsky. It is noteworthy that during a competition that took place in 1987, the statue’s model won the first prize, but due to absence of financing the model didn’t become a full-scale work. For erecting the statue of the great Armenian painter in Yerevan’s center today, the art appreciators should be grateful to the president of the “Prometheus” Company Senik Gevorgian.
