After the storm. Moonrise 1894

"After the Storm. Moonrise" is a seascape painting created by renowned Russian artist Ivan Aivazovsky in 1894. Known for his dramatic and often romanticized depictions of the sea, Aivazovsky masterfully portrays the aftermath of a storm with a bright moon illuminating the turbulent waters and dark, stormy clouds above. The painting captures the awe-inspiring power of nature and the fleeting beauty of a post-storm seascape. This romanticism is reflected in Aivazovsky's signature use of light and color, which creates a sense of drama and tranquility.
