“Yalta. The mountains at night” is a landscape painting by Ivan Aivazovsky, belonging to the Romanticism art movement. The artwork is an evocative depiction of a serene nighttime scene along the coast.
The artwork showcases a moonlit night over the mountains of Yalta. The moon, partially veiled by clouds, casts a gentle glow on the tranquil sea, creating a reflective dance of light upon the water. Dark, towering mountains loom in the background, their silhouettes rendered with subtle, yet expressive brushstrokes. Along the beach, a few figures stroll on the sands, adding a contemplative human element to the natural splendor. The composition captures the Romantic spirit by emphasizing the sublime beauty and emotional depth of the nighttime landscape.
