Black Sea Fleet 1947

Victor Puzyrkov's 1947 painting, "Black Sea Fleet", depicts a dramatic scene of soldiers wading ashore from a boat under heavy fire during a stormy sea battle. The scene is rendered with a realistic style, capturing the tension and chaos of war with vivid details of crashing waves, smoke billowing in the distance, and determined expressions on the soldiers' faces. The painting is a powerful example of Soviet socialist realism, showcasing the bravery and resilience of the Red Army during World War II.
