Odessa at night 1846

"Odessa at Night" is a Romantic seascape painting by the renowned Russian artist Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky, created in 1846. The painting captures the city of Odessa at dusk, as a fleet of ships sails across a calm sea towards the city. The dramatic sky, lit by the setting sun, creates a sense of mystery and grandeur, while the warm glow of the city lights illuminates the harbor, adding a touch of intimacy to the scene. Aivazovsky was known for his mastery of light and his ability to convey the beauty and power of nature, making this a classic example of his work.
