About the piece

Painted in 1844, this masterwork by Ivan Aivazovsky depicts the Bay of Naples bathed in the golden, ethereal light of a setting sun. Local figures gather on the shore near a small sail-tented structure, while vessels drift across the calm, luminous waters of the Mediterranean towards the silhouetted city.
