The artwork, titled “Sea view,” was created by Ivan Aivazovsky in 1892 and is associated with the Romanticism art movement. Falling under the genre of marina, this piece highlights a maritime scene, a subject for which Aivazovsky was renowned.
The artwork depicts a serene and expansive seascape. The waves of the sea are portrayed with gentle, sweeping strokes, evoking a sense of both movement and tranquility. In the background, the outlines of distant mountains emerge through a misty haze, contributing to the romantic and almost dreamlike atmosphere of the scene. Two ships sail gracefully upon the water; one is closer to the shore, while the other can be seen farther out towards the horizon. The soft, delicate coloration of the sky and sea merges seamlessly, drawing the viewer’s eye across the breadth of the canvas and inviting contemplation of the beauty and vastness of the natural world.
