“The Caucasian Range from the Sea,” created by Ivan Aivazovsky in 1899, is an exemplary work of Romanticism executed in oil on canvas. The artwork measures 59 x 94 cm and falls under the genre of marina (seascape). Currently, it is housed at the Aivazovsky National Art Gallery in Feodosiya, Ukraine.
The artwork depicts a tumultuous sea in rich shades of blue, integrating the vast and dynamic ocean with a single vessel navigating through the waves. The horizon features a hazy outline of the Caucasian mountain range under a dramatically clouded sky, evoking a sense of both tranquility and the sublime power of nature. The interplay of light and color masterfully conveys the awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur characteristic of Romanticism.
