"Reval" (1844) by Ivan Aivazovsky depicts a picturesque harbor scene with several ships and a distant view of the city of Tallinn, Estonia, which was known as Reval in the 19th century. This oil painting, measuring 118 x 188 cm, exemplifies Aivazovsky's mastery of marine painting, a genre he is renowned for. The artist's signature style, known for its romanticism and dramatic use of light, is evident in the painting's luminous sky and the reflection of sunlight on the water.
