Famous Russian academician, prominent art theorist and archaeologist Vladimir Stasov (1824–1906), while studying ancient Slavonic and Eastern ornamental sculptures, in 1880 visited a number of cities in Europe and the East. In Venice he visited the Mekhitarist congregation and met Father Ghevond Alishan (1820–1901) – a prominent figure of Armenian culture. With Alishan’s assistance, Stasov studied the miniature paintings of ancient Armenian manuscripts from Mekhitarian collection.
