EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Skirmish of Persians and Kurds in Armenia" takes us back to the mid-19th century, capturing a moment of intense battle and confrontation. Printed by Alfred Leon Lemercier in Paris between 1850-60, this colour lithograph showcases the artistic talent of Grigori Grigorevich Gagarin. In this scene, we witness a clash between Persian and Kurdish forces amidst the stunning landscapes of Armenia. The riders on horseback engage in a fierce gunfight, highlighting their equestrian skills and bravery. The horses themselves are depicted with remarkable detail, emphasizing their importance as loyal companions on the battlefield. This artwork offers an intriguing glimpse into Arab civilization during that era. It portrays elements such as architecture reminiscent of Middle Eastern churches, reflecting both cultural diversity and religious significance within the region. The composition also sheds light on historical tensions present in Caucasia at that time. Armenian and Kurdish identities are represented through their distinctive attire while Persian influence is evident through weaponry used by some combatants.
