Moonlight on the Bosphorus 

Ivan Aivazovsky, a renowned Russian Romantic painter known for his seascapes, is famous for his dramatic depiction of the sea under various weather conditions. “Moonlight on the Bosphorus” showcases a serene nocturnal scene of the Bosphorus Strait, a critical waterway connecting the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara. The painting depicts the moon's glow illuminating the calm waters, a small sailing ship and a coastal town, and the majestic presence of the moon adds a touch of mystery and wonder to the composition.
