00:26Ivan Iwasovsky was the first artist to organize his own exhibitions in major provincial towns before the establishment of the Association of Itinerant Art Exhibitions.
00:39In Iwasovsky's lifetime, more than 120 exhibitions of his paintings were held, and not only in Russia, but also in many other countries.
00:49In 1847, the artist was given the title of Professor of Seascape painting by the Imperial Academy of Arts, and in 1887 he became an honorary member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts.
01:05He was also a member of the Stuttgart, Florence, Rome, and Amsterdam Academies.
01:11A huge success, which accompanied almost his entire career, long outlasted him.
01:18Iwasovsky, to this day, remains the most popular artist who is admired by many painters.
01:24In his Seascapes, Ivan Iwasovsky managed to recreate the magnificent image of struggle of the ships with the elements, dreadful battles, beauty of a calm sea, and poetic nocturnal marine species.
01:39In the painting The Ship in the Stormy Sea, produced in 1887, romantic nature of the art piece is vivid.
01:48The last storm caused irreparable damage to the ship.
01:52It messed up the ropes, which hang limply among the masts.
01:56The ship creaks and groans, still afloat, but the violent waves will gradually break the resistance and carry it to the bottom of the sea.
02:05People leave the deserted ship in a hurry, and, sitting in a boat, desperately row to the shore.
02:12The stormy sky is not fully cleared up.
02:15Sun rays shimmer through, illuminating the cold and foaming surface of the sea.
02:20The viewer sees through the boundless expanse of the blue waves the wreckage of ships.
02:26With each brushstroke of the master, the canvas becomes even more dramatic.
02:31The painting is now in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
02:37This oil-on-canvas painting was created by Ivan Iwasovsky in 1842.
02:43The master's life, long and glorious, passed in a continuous dialogue with the sea, a symbol of freedom and spaciousness.
02:51And the sea, sometimes calm, sometimes wavy or wild, generously granted him, with an exhaustible wealth of experience.
03:01The artist depicted a raging element, stormy sky and stormy sea covered with the waves, as if boiling in a clash with one another, with the ships and majestic structure of the lighthouse.
03:13As always, Iwasovsky uses a very simple, but at the same time, colorful, expressive chord, which, together with additional external effects, creates deeply truthful depiction of the raging sea.
03:26The artist managed to bring to a seascape painting, feelings and thoughts that worried progressive people of his time, and to provide deeper meaning and significance to his art.
03:38The art piece is housed in the Museum of the Armenian Mekitarist Congregation of Venice.
03:45Moonlight over the Dnieper River, painted in 1858, is one of the best examples of the artist's mastery in rendering a calm southern night enveloping his beloved mighty river.
03:58Iwasovsky masterfully conveys the effects of moonlight, shimmering through on the clouds and running like a path of light on the water.
04:06The work is executed without dramatic contrasting color effects, and its color scheme is based on delicate gradations of restrained dark blue and ochre.
04:18Alongside motifs, which are familiar from the artist's other landscapes, such as calm water surface with a boat on the horizon, a windmill, silhouettes of huts on the remote riverbank are just visible in the distance.
04:31Moonlight over the Dnieper River also contains a genre element, a peaceful scene with two fishermen watching a boat setting off.
04:40The piece is now in the private collection.
05:01The piece has been written with the others, which in the private collection.
05:10The rest of the country are in the private collection.
