Professor Christina Maranci of Tufts University in the US will present her newly published book, “The Art of Armenia: An Introduction,” at the Tufts Alumnae Lounge, on October 4.

Maranci’s new book provides a survey of the arts of Armenia from antiquity to the early modern times. It covers a wide range of media, including architecture, stone sculpture, works in metal, wood, and cloth, manuscript illumination, and ceramic arts, and places Armenian art within broad historical, archeological, and cultural contexts, Wicked Local Somerville reported.

“The Art of Armenia” offers students, scholars, and heritage readers a complete and authoritative introduction to 3,000 years of Armenian art, archeology, architecture, and design.

Maranci is Professor of Armenian Art and serves as Chair of the Department of Art and Art History at Tufts University, as well as an academic advisor to the Armenian Museum of America and to the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR).

This event is free and open to the public.
