Его фотографии выделяют высокая техника исполнения и художественная выразительность. Авантюрный склад ума и предпринимательский талант позволили фотографу не только благополучно адаптироваться в юго-восточной Азии, но и создать в г. Сурабая успешное фотоателье, еще долго просуществовавшее и после его смерти.</p><p>О раннем периоде жизни и творчества Ованеса Кюркчяна известно немного. До отъезда в начале 1880-х гг. сначала в Европу, а затем на о. Ява он жил в Тифлисе и Ереване и занимался преимущественно архитектурной фотосъемкой. Известны, как минимум, два отдельных тематических альбома: снимки руин городища Ани и фотографии памятников армянского средневекового зодчества VII–XIII вв. Эти изображения также отличаются высоким качеством исполнения и помимо неоспоримой художественной ценности имеют и научное значение как источник в историко-архитектурных исследованиях.</p><p>К сожалению, историки фотографии обошли творчество Ованеса Кюркчяна вниманием. В русскоязычной научной литературе найти информацию о нем практически невозможно. Большинство англоязычных источников представлены не публикациями, а интернет-ресурсами и повествуют либо о яванских снимках фотографа, либо только об одном из его ранних альбомов. Это делает рассказ об архитектурных фотографиях Ованеса Кюркчяна и истории их создания чрезвычайно актуальным, что и сделано в статье, в том числе на основании снимков Армении, недавно выявленных в Научном архиве ИИМК РАН.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Hovhannes (Ohannes, Onnes) Kurkdjian (1851–1903) was an Armenian photographer, known first of all for his numerous photographs of exotic landscapes of the island of Java. His photographs are of an outstanding quality and artistic expressiveness. An adventurous mindset and entrepreneurial talent allowed the photographer not only to successfully adapt to Southeast Asia, but also to found a famous photo studio in Surabaya, which existed for a long time even after his death.</p><p>Little is known about the early period of life and work of Ohannes Kurkdjian. Before departure in the early 1880s at first to Europe, and then to the island Java, he lived in Tiflis and Yerevan and was mainly engaged in architectural photography. At least two separate thematic albums are known: photographs of the ruins of the ancient settlement of Ani and pictures of monuments of Armenian medieval architecture of the 7th–13th centuries. These images also are of a high quality and besides their uunquestionable artistic value; they can be a visual source in historical and architectural studies.</p><p>Unfortunately, historians of photography overlooked the work of Ohannes Kurkdjian. It is almost impossible to find information about him in Russian scientific publications. Most English-language sources are not publications, but Internet resources and talk about either his Javanese photographs or only one of his early albums. This makes the publication on the architectural photographs of Ohannes Kurkdjian and the history of their creation highly relevant, which will be done in this article, including archival photographs of Armenia recently identified in the Scientific Archive of the IHMC RAS.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Ованес (Оганнес) Кюркчян</kwd><kwd>Ани</kwd><kwd>история фотографии</kwd><kwd>армянская архитектура</kwd><kwd>стереофотография</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Hovhannes (Ohannes) Kurkdjian</kwd><kwd>Ani</kwd><kwd>history of photography</kwd><kwd>Armenian architecture</kwd><kwd>stereophotography</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">ФО НА ИИМК РАН — Фотоотдел Научного архива Института истории материальной культуры Российской академии наук.
