Komitas is a 1936 oil by Yeghishe Tadevosyan, a Realism work, held at National Gallery of Armenia.
This painting shows a man standing in a landscape. He wears a long white robe and holds a small object in his hands. The background is a mix of greens and blues, with trees and a body of water visible. The man's face is serious, and he looks directly at the viewer. His robe is long and flowing, and it catches the light in a way that makes it stand out against the darker background. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists who use chiaroscuro to create dramatic contrasts between light and dark.
Yeghishe Martirosi Tadevosyan (Armenian: Եղիշե Մարտիրոսի Թադևոսյան; 24 September 1870 – 22 January 1936) was a Soviet Armenian painter, associated with the Peredvizhniki and Mir Iskusstva movements.
