Sarkis Katchadourian (born in Meletène/Malatya, Asia Minor, 1886, died in Paris in 1947) is a Persian painter of Armenian descent known for his reproductions of Persian and Indian frescoes. After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and the School of Decorative Arts in Paris, Sarkis Katchadourian moved to Constantinople in 1914. Fleeing the genocide, he settled in Tiflis from 1915 to 1921. There, he essentially painted the lives of Armenian refugees from Turkey. He later resided in Cairo, Vienna, Paris, Brussels and London, where personal exhibitions were held. In 1930, he went to Isfahan with the aim of reproducing, or even reconstructing, the Persian frescoes of the 18th century, which are endangered. He became famous through the exhibitions of 1932 at the Musée Guimet and the 1934 exhibitions at the Georges Petit gallery in Paris. They featured his reconstructions of The Safavid frescoes of various palaces in Isfahan and the ruins of Ashraf. He went to India in 1937 to reconstruct the ancient Indian frescoes. After a five-year stay in New York, Katchadourian was invited by the French government to exhibit his Hindu re-enactments at the Cernuschi Museum in Paris. In 1939, the University of Bombay, exhibited its reconstructions of ancient frescoes of the caves of Bagh, those of Ajantâ and the troglodyte temples of Badami . One of these series was then acquired by the Guimet Museum. Married to Vava, also a painter, he died in Paris in March 1947 as a result of an unfortunate hernia operation. In 1971, a cultural agreement was signed between France and Armenia. On this occasion, the series acquired by the Guimet Museum is deposited at the National Gallery of Armenia.
