Exhibition entitled - “Qajar Oil Paintings From The Collection of Shalva Amiranashvili State Museum of Fine Arts” was on show at the National Museum of Georgia. Iranian easel painting from the 18th and 19th centuries occupies an important place in the history of both Iranian and global art. Owing to the fact that its initial creation and subsequent development occurred precisely during the reign of the Qajar dynasty in Iran, it is frequently referred to as Qajar or Royal Persian Painting. One of the world’s largest collections of easel paintings from the Qajar era is housed at the Shalva Amiranashvili State Museum of Fine Arts, which is a part of the National Museum of Georgia.
Georgia's access to such extensive and varied Iranian collections was clearly influenced by relations between the two nations. Hundreds of Georgians worked in Iran, and played an important role in the country's political and cultural life. Simultaneously, the oriental style began to permeate Georgian daily life predominantly as a result of Iranian influence. Such close historical ties have resulted in this remarkable collection of artworks, some of which were bestowed on Georgia as gifts, and some of which the Georgian people themselves collected and preserved as testament to the centuries-long relations enjoyed between these two countries.
