Zakary Zakarian 1849-1923

Zakarian is a rare figure in the history of art. Having had no special training he achieved great results. Born in Constantinople, Turkey, he got his medical education in Paris and practiced medicine for several years, before fabulous Paris museums inspired him to take up painting

Zakaryan's still-lifes are delicate, yet superbly composed, with intense color and an expressive play of light and shade. In France his paintings were highly regarded by contemporaries, among them Degas, who painted a portrait of the artist in 1885 (D. Weil Collection, Paris). He was awarded two gold medals at international exhibitions and the Legion d'Honneur. During his lifetime his works were acquired by various French museums including the Musee Luxembourg (now in the Musee d 'Orsay).

Zakaryan lived far from his homeland at a time when the Armenian people were suffering their greatest trials and often depicted a glass of water, as if to symbolize his unquenchable nostalgia.
