Armenian art - Armenian art (English spelling)
Art that flourished in the Armenian region. It is characterized by Christian art with a strong Eastern influence. Many famous works of architecture, painting, sculpture, etc. remain. Its most developed period was from the 5th to the 7th century, the second period was from the late 9th century to the 11th century, the third period was from the 12th to the 14th century, and it declined under Islamic rule after that. Its art was influenced by Byzantium, Syria, and Palestine on the one hand, and by Sassanid Persia on the other (→ Sassanid art). Therefore, motifs from both cultures were often mixed in paintings and sculptures, resulting in a unique style. Illustrations in manuscripts from the 9th to 14th centuries are influenced by both cultures, and also incorporate motifs from Islamic art. Manuscripts from the 13th century in particular have a high level of artistic quality.

Japanese:
アルメニア地方に開花した美術。ことに東方的色彩の強いキリスト教美術を特徴とする。建築,絵画,彫刻などに幾多の著名な作品が残されている。5世紀から7世紀がその最も発展した時代で,第2期は9世紀後期から 11世紀,第3期は 12世紀から 14世紀,以後はイスラムの支配のもとに衰退した。その美術は一方,ビザンチン,シリア,パレスチナの影響を受け,他方にササン朝ペルシアの文化を受継ぐ (→ササン朝美術 ) 。したがって絵画や彫刻にはしばしば両者のモチーフが混合され,特殊な様式を生んだ。また9世紀から 14世紀の写本の挿絵は両者の影響のほか,さらにイスラム美術のモチーフが加えられている。特に 13世紀の写本は高度の美術的特質をもっている。
