The artwork, titled “The Battle of Sinop on 18th November 1853 Night After Battle,” was masterfully created by the acclaimed artist Ivan Aivazovsky. This piece belongs to the Romanticism art movement and is classified within the marina and battle painting genres.
The artwork dramatically portrays the aftermath of a naval battle, with ships in various stages of ruin and engulfed in flames that brighten the night sky. The dark, turbulent clouds overhead and the contrasting warm glow of the fires vividly bring to life the chaos and devastation of the scene. The reflection of the inferno on the water adds a striking and somber beauty to the artwork, capturing the intensity and turmoil of historical maritime conflict.
