About the piece

Painted in 1873, Ivan Aivazovsky's 'Storm at Sea' captures the terrifying beauty of a maritime tempest. The work showcases the artist's legendary ability to render the translucency of water and the atmospheric tension of a gathering storm, featuring a small boat caught in the swell and a larger vessel in distress on the horizon.
