After the Massacre is a 1900 oil by Vardges Sureniants, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Church Building, held at National Gallery of Armenia.
This painting shows a scene of destruction and chaos. In the foreground, there are several bodies lying on the ground, some of which appear to be injured or dead. The walls and floor are covered in bloodstains, and there are broken objects scattered throughout the scene. In the background, there is a large stone door with intricate carvings, which appears to be slightly ajar. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of violence and devastation. The artist's use of dark colors and bold brushstrokes adds to the sense of drama and intensity. The painting seems to be depicting a moment of great turmoil and upheaval. The artist's technique of using chiaroscuro to create strong contrasts between light and dark adds depth and emotion to the scene.
Vardges Sureniants (Armenian: Վարդգես Սուրենյանց; 27 February 1860 – 6 April 1921) was an Armenian painter, sculptor, illustrator, translator, art critic, and theater artist.
