Armenian family of painters From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hovnatanyan family (Armenian: Հովնաթանյաններ, Hovnat'anyanner) was a prominent Armenian family of painters. They include five generations from 17th to 19th centuries. Hovnatanyans are originally from the village of Shorot, Yernjak district in Nakhichevan (now Şurud, Julfa Rayon, Nakhichivan Autonomous Republic).
They were based in Nakhichevan, Yerevan, Tbilisi, Ejmiatsin, Saint Petersburg and Persia. Most of their works are dedicated to Christianity like other works of their era.
The surname derives from Hovnatan, the Armenian equivalent of Jonathan.
A crater on the planet Mercury is named after Hakob Hovnatanian.[3]
