OIL PAINTING: Fishing Boats In A Harbor, 1854
Around 1850-1852, Aivazovsky entered the romantic phase of his artistic career. His colors became more romantic, the lights in Aivazovsky paintings became more nostalgic and mysterious, as in this ''Fishing Boats In A Harbor'', and the whole atmosphere of Aivazovsky 's themes conveyed intimacy in structure, dramatic dominance and an almost frightening human drama shared by men of the sea and its immense mysteries.
