"The Battle of Chesma" is a dramatic seascape painted by Ivan Aivazovsky in 1886. The painting depicts a pivotal moment in the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774, where the Russian fleet, commanded by Alexei Orlov, decisively defeated the Ottoman fleet at the Battle of Chesma. The scene showcases the fiery destruction of the Ottoman ships amidst a tumultuous sea, captured in Aivazovsky's signature Romantic style with vibrant colors and dramatic brushstrokes.
