View of Odessa on a Moonlit Night 

Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky, known for his seascapes, depicts the city of Odessa in Ukraine under a brilliant full moon in this romantic painting. "View of Odessa on a Moonlit Night" utilizes Aivazovsky's signature dramatic use of light and shadow to create a sense of awe and wonder. The moon's reflection on the calm water creates a sense of peace and tranquility. The ships in the harbor, silhouetted against the moonlight, add a touch of mystery to the scene. Aivazovsky's mastery of depicting water is evident in the way he captures the smooth surface of the sea and the luminous glow of the moon's reflection.
