"CHINESE BRONZE" EXHIBITION
Deputy-Minister of Gagik Giurjian informed the reporters about the schedule of culture events in Armenia through March-April 2008.
On March 25, by the initiative of the Ministry of Armenia of the Embassy of China in Armenia, the "Chinese Bronze" exhibition is to be opened at the National Historic Museum.
The art of bronze forging has always been a part of the 5000 year-old culture of China. The Chinese craftsmen have shaped over 10000 bronze items over those ages, which are rightfully considered chefs d'oeuvres of fine art.
Statues, ritual vessels and decorative plates - all those items were unique and priceless. In later centuries it was decided to make the copies of them, so that the foreigners could marvel at the beauty of the Chinese arts. Numbers of copies of those rarest antique items were made with great skill, and from time to time exhibited by the initiative of the authorities of China.
The copies of 46 such bronze items are to be exhibited in the National Historic Museum, Yerevan. According to Armenian and foreign experts, even the copies, which are to be demonstrated at the coming exposition, are of great cultural value. Among the masterpieces represented on the exhibition, there is a statue of a horse, with the detailed description of horse riding engraved upon it and a ritual vessel, with an inscription containing the records of the greatest deeds of eight Chinese emperors.
