Aivazovsky's anniversary will also be marked by issuing an artistic stamp: The Ukraine Post has planned to issue the series of ''Treasures of Ukraine's museums'' by the 200th anniversary of the artist's birthday.

''The issuance of commemorative coins and stamps commemorating the 200th anniversary of the great artist's birthday are apparently indicative of the state recognition of Ivan Aivazovsky's contribution to the treasury of the global pictorial art, vividly illustrating the phenomenon of the mutual enrichment of the Armenian and Ukrainian cultures,'' Ukrainian historian and member of the Ukrainian Heraldry Society, Maxim Tsarenko told AnalitikaUA.net
