| A brief annotation | Stepan Aghajanian (1863-1940) – a prominent Armenian painter, People’s Artist of the Soviet Armenia. Got education in France, studied in the Marseille Artistic Studio and in the Paris Julian Academy with B. Constant and J. P. Laurence. For many years lived and worked in Rostov-on-Don (Russia) teaching drawing at schools of general education and in the state artistic studios. Aghajanian painted portraits (children’s portraits as well) and landscapes. He had an exceptional gift and ability for realistic disclosure of the inner world of the nature. Richness of characteristics and restraint of coloring are the distinctive features of his best works – «Self-Portrait», «Painter’s Wife», «Vasil», «Pioneer», «Red Army Man», «Actress E. Baronkina». |

И кто только не выпускает таких монет. Хотя те кто коллекционирует произведения искусства на монетах - радуются. Но это уже не в диковинку, только для узких профессионалов. Тем более, что тираж - всего 500.
