| Ivan Aivazovsky - A Moonlit Night at Sea, 1885. |
The moon frequently features in Aivazovsky’s works, adding an intense amount of drama to his darker, more monotone seascapes. In the present work, the moon itself is hidden behind ominous clouds but its cool light illuminates the beach to reveal a small boat washed ashore and two steamships in the background. This masterwork is a stunning example of Aivazovsky’s adept talent in depicting light. via
