Ararat - Album (in Armenian / English)

The book is an album of Shmavon Shmavonyan's paintings of Mount Ararat and the surrounding scenery of the Araratian valley created in 1993-2013. Each of the paintings is accompanied by verses of Armenian and non-Armenian poets devoted to Ararat, which has been a source of inspiration for many artists, painters, poets and representatives of other spheres of art.​One of the most beautiful mounts in the world – the snow-white big Ararat or Masis proudly towers up on the south of Araratian Valley in front of the capital Yerevan. The Araratian valley is spread at the foot of Ararat. The river Arax silvers gently in the middle of the valley. The regions of Ararat, Aragatsotn and Armavir with their beautiful and prosperous towns and villages are situated in the Araratian valley. The Araratian valley with its Big and Small Masises, high poplars and white-feathered storks on their branches is magnificent scenery.
