OIL PAINTING: Storm, 1872
No other artist before Aivazovsky had managed to capture with such brilliance, accuracy and apparent ease the most difficult of subjects for a painter - the changing moods of the sea. Although Ivan Aivazovsky did occasionally dabble in the more traditional art forms of landscapes and portraiture, the bulk of his output was seascapes. Aivazovsky was a master at realistically depicting water and the sea in its many forms: calm, choppy, stormy, at night, as rain, as foam on waves, windblown, etc.
