The artist is Aivazovsky
Already in the early years, the artist created a special type of paintings romanticized "In the oriental taste", were successful with Russian and foreign spectators. He loved the motives of the sea, illuminated by the scorching or tender rays of the sun, he enriched the antiquities of the southern coast of Crimea, where he lived and where he found inspiration throughout the long life.
