Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky P. II

Dear Wonderful Reader,

Here is Part 2 of Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky’s art. He was born on July 29, 1817 in Feodosia. He was a Romantic Russian painter from an Armenian descent. He lived in a poor household and gained fame at the of 25. Aivazovsky was unaffected by his new found fame and wealth, he lived a humble life by the (Black) sea  which he was fascinated with as evident in his paintings.

Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky (1817-1900)

Dear Wonderful Reader,

I am speechless.

I will try to muster the ability to summarize what I love about those paintings:

  • The delicate use of color
  • The amazingly beautiful light
  • The tranquility of the seascapes
  • The fury of the seascapes
  • The true to life waves

On to the paintings…
