Sea on a moonlit night 1858

"Sea on a moonlit night" is a Romantic seascape oil painting by Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky, created in 1858. The painting captures a ship sailing through a moonlit stormy sea. The artist used a dramatic palette of dark blues and greens, reflecting the moonlight on the turbulent waters and creating a sense of mystery. This is a masterful example of Aivazovsky's signature style and love for depicting the power of the sea and its impact on humankind.
