The artwork, titled “Sea View,” was created by Ivan Aivazovsky in 1899. It belongs to the Romanticism art movement and is classified within the genre of marina, which depicts maritime scenes.
In the artwork, one can observe a serene and vast expanse of the sea, subtly blending with the sky at the horizon. A prominent feature is the majestic sailboat, gracefully navigating the calm waters, bathed in soft, natural light. The composition is imbued with a tranquil atmosphere, emphasized by the gentle, pastel hues of the sky and water. Billowing clouds, tinged with warm, golden light, dominate the background. The foreground features scattered rocks, partially submerged, adding to the realism and depth of the scene. The seagulls flying above the water evoke a sense of life and movement, enhancing the overall impression of peacefulness and natural beauty.
