After the storm 

"After the Storm" is a seascape by Ivan Aivazovsky, a renowned Russian artist known for his dramatic depictions of the sea. The painting captures the aftermath of a tempestuous storm, showcasing a receding, choppy sea with breaking waves and a distant, sun-drenched mountain range. Aivazovsky's signature use of light and color creates a sense of tranquility and hope, contrasting the turbulent ocean with the peaceful sky and the calm figures on the beach. The painting, characteristic of the Romantic era, offers a powerful visual representation of nature's immense power and beauty.
