Sonomatreasures Presents for Your ConsiderationRare - Original - c1907 - Signed - Art Postcard - The Ani Armenia Town View - By Famous Armenian Artist Arshak FetvadjianInformation on Armenian Artist Arshak Abrahmi Fetvadjian: The artist and art historian Arshak Abrahmi Fetvadjian was born in October 1866 at Trebizond (modern Trabzon) in the Ottoman Empire. At Constantinople he studied painting at the State Fine Arts School (also known as the Imperial Academy of Art), graduating from there in 1887.Fetvadjian also trained at the San Luca Art Academy in Rome from 1887 to 1891. He lived, worked as an artist, and studied in Vienna from 1891 to 1895, before moving to St. Petersburg where he became a member of the Society of Russian Watercolour Painters.At the start of the 20th century Fetvadjian visited Ani in order to paint the ruins.Fetvadjian\'s paintings of Ani were factual and literal depictions of the buildings and were mostly done in watercolor.In the following years a large number of his watercolours were published as postcards. Most of these postcards depict buildings at Ani; a few are of other locations in Armenia; some are studies of the various races inhabiting Transcaucasia and elsewhere, shown wearing their national costumes.An album titled \"Les Ruines d\'Ani\", containing 15 postcard-sized reproductions of Fetvadjian\'s Ani watercolours, was published in Vienna in 1903. At around the same time the same watercolours depicted in the album were issued as postcards. There was probably at least one reprint of the postcards - some of the cards are marked \"made in Austria\", others are not. (This postcard and others are all marked \"Made in Austria\")PLEASE SEE OTHER EARLY 20TH CENTURY ARMENIAN/ARMENIAN GENOCIDE ITEMS IN MY store.Please see pictures for condition.Additional pictures will be provided upon request.This item may be returned (minus shipping costs) if you are not completely satisfied - so offer with confidence.
