The artwork entitled “Sea at Night” is created by the artist Ivan Aivazovsky and belongs to the Romanticism art movement. It falls within the genre of marine paintings.
The artwork portrays a serene nocturnal seascape illuminated by the full moon, casting a luminous glow across the water’s surface. In the distance, a solitary ship sails through the calm waves, its dark silhouette starkly contrasting against the radiant moonlit sky. The gentle play of light and reflections on the sea evokes a sense of tranquil beauty and poetic solitude, characteristic of Romanticism. The meticulous brushwork and use of color convey the ethereal quality of the night, highlighting Aivazovsky’s mastery in capturing the essence of the maritime scene.
