About the piece
Painted in 1868 by Ivan Aivazovsky, this work depicts the breathtaking journey through the Caucasus Mountains between Mleta and Gudauri. Although primarily celebrated for his seascapes, Aivazovsky here demonstrates his exceptional mastery of light and atmosphere, rendering the craggy cliffs and ethereal mist with the same romantic precision he brought to the ocean.
