The outstanding painter Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky entered the history of world art as a romantic marine painter, a genius of classical landscape, whose works are known and highly valued throughout the world. He was able to synthesize in his art a poetic vision of nature with an almost documentary reproduction of scenes related to historical events - naval battles, campaigns and expeditions. With all the clarity and openness of the path he has traversed, Aivazovsky still continues to seem like a mysterious figure, and his mystery lies in the unique combination of life and creative lines of fate, formed into a magnificent composition.
