Тhe story of a mural

In 1969, on the occasion of Komitas' 100th anniversary, the dome of Gevorkian Theological Seminary (then Museum) was painted with murals, a series of scenes depicting the themes of Komitas' songs. The idea belonged to Ashot Melkonian. His co-workers were Hakob Hakobian, Henrik Siravian and Rafayel Sargsyan. The large mural still captures with its simplicity, purity, loftiness and harmony of hues and lines.
