Book excerpt: The seascapes of Ivan Aivazovsky (1817-1900) made his name in Russia, his native country where he was a painter of the court of Nicholas I, yet his fame barely extended beyond these borders. Master of the Sublime, he made the ocean the principal subject of his work. Sometimes wild and raging, sometimes calm and peaceful, the life of the ocean is composed of as many allegories as the human condition. Like Turner, whom he knew and whose art he admired, he never painted outside in nature, nor did he make preliminary sketches; his paintings were the fruit of his exceptional memory. With more than 6,000 canvasses, Aivazovsky was one of the most prolific painters of his time.

Book excerpt: Ivan Aivazovsky was Russian painter living and working in Crimea, most famous for his seascapes. He is widely considered as one of the greatest seascape painters of all times.Throughout his lifetime, Aivazovsky contributed over 6,000 paintings to the art world, ranging from his early landscapes. He was especially effective at developing the play of light in his paintings, sometimes applying layers of color to create a transparent quality, a technique for which they are highly admired. Although he produced many portraits and landscapes, over half of all of Aivazovsky's paintings are realistic depictions of coastal scenes and seascapes. His technique and imagination in depicting the shimmering play of light on the waves and seafoam is especially admired, and gives his seascapes a romantic yet realistic quality that echoes the work of English watercolorist J. M. W. Turner. In addition to being the most prolific of Russian Armenian painters, Aivazovsky founded an art school and gallery to engage and educate other artists of the day. He also and built a historical museum in his hometown on Feodosia, Crimea, in addition to beginning the first archaeological expeditions of the same region.He spent his last years in Feodosia where he supplied the town with water from his own estate. Aivasovsky died in Feodosiya in 1900.
