00:30The real name of Ivan Aybazovsky, which he was given at birth, is Ovanes Aybazan.
00:39His ancestors were Armenians from Galicia.
00:46Ivan was born in Crimea in Feodosia, which is located on the Black Sea coast of Ukraine.
00:55Unrestrained love for the sea is reflected in the magnificent paintings of the Master.
01:05The Ninth Wave is one of the most famous paintings by Aybazovsky.
01:12The painter depicts the sea after a heavy night storm and survivors from a shipwreck.
01:20The sun rays illuminate the huge waves. The biggest of them is the Ninth Wave.
01:30The people floating on the mast of the sunk ship continue to struggle with the nature.
01:38Warm tones of the painting make the sea look not so fearsome and give the audience hope that the people will be saved.
01:48At the moment, the painting is in the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
01:59The painting Brig Mercury attacked by two Turkish ships is based on real events that took place on May 14, 1829.
02:11The Russian Brig, due to the light wind, was not able to get away from the pursuit and was overtaken by the two largest and high-speed Turkish ships.
02:24The brig was forced to engage into a battle carrying 18 guns versus 200 guns of the enemy.
02:34Despite overwhelming odds, the Turkish ships were scumpered.
02:44Some critics argue that such an arrangement of ships like the paint in reality would not have allowed the brig to win.
02:54On the canvas, the ship was hopelessly caught between the Turkish ships.
03:01And in such a situation, they would have had a distinct advantage.
03:07Currently, the painting is in the Ivazovsky National Art Gallery in Feodosia.
03:17The picture Ayodag on a foggy day was created by Ivazovsky in 1853.
03:28In the same year, the Crimean War had begun, but it is still peace and harmony in the picture.
03:41The landscape with the Crimea South Bank attractions, the Bear Mountain and the Adelara Islands which are dreaming in the fog, is differed by a special natural atmosphere.
03:57The painter with his inherent skills reflects a wonderful perspective of a foggy day.
04:07A full calm.
04:10A wet fog wraps the powerful mountain range towering over the sea and rises above the water blurring the outlines of objects.
04:22At the moment, the painting is in the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
