The artwork, titled “View on the Capri,” was created by Ivan Aivazovsky in 1845. Utilizing the medium of oil on canvas, the piece belongs to the Romanticism art movement and represents a landscape genre. The dimensions of the artwork are 40 x 57 cm.
The artwork depicts a serene scene set at the seaside, capturing a tranquil view with a warm, golden lighting high in the sky. In the background, the sea stretches to meet the horizon, where several sailboats and a larger vessel can be seen, their sails gently catching the wind. The foreground shows a small group of people, likely engaging in leisurely activities. To the right, a billowing sail, attached to a small boat, introduces an element of movement and directs attention towards the figures on the shore. The overall composition evokes a sense of calm and romance, characteristic of Aivazovsky’s mastery in seascape painting.
