STYLE AND SUBJECT MATTER
Aivazovsky is best known for his
seascapes and coastal scenes. 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 and
Russian painter Sylvester Shchedrin.

The Ninth Wave
is the best known
painting by
Russian Armenian
marine painter
Ivan Aivazovsky;
