The image of Fr. Ghevond Alishan (1820-1901) was immortalized in Fine arts by Armenian and foreign artists. Arshag Fetvadjian and Noè Bordignon portray the Father as an intellectual. The works by Yeprem Savayan and Andreas Ter-Marukyan are full of dramatism and seem to express Alishan’s inner state. Bronze bust created by Tigran Arzumanyan is highly generalized and stands for it monumental sounding, whereas the one made by Carlo Lorenzetti dwells more on the spirituality of Alishan. Father Alishan’s image has also been portrayed in art by Hovhannes Aivazovsky, Harutyun Shamshinyan, Simon Nahabed, Paul Asadour and Stepan Akayan. 

Although painterly and graphic portraits and busts of Alishan vary in the degree of mastery, inspiration and artistic interpretation of the images of the great scientist-Armenologist, poet, pedagogue and monk, but they definitely are of interest and great value.
