YEREVAN, DECEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS. Aivazovsky and Sea – these words are synonyms for more than one and a half century. When we say Aivazovsky, we imagine the Sea…..these are the introductory words of Артхив’s author, who presents a publication about the great marine artist’s works which remained out of the spotlight. Unusual and unexpected Aivazovsky – Aivazovsky without the Sea.

Aivazovsky’s Judas’ Betrayal is kept in St. Petersburg’s Russian State Museum.
