Vaisovsky, 1817-1900, was a Russian painter of Armenian descent of late Romanticism who is considered one of the greatest masters of marine art. One of the most prominent Russian artists of his time, I. Vaisovsky was also popular outside Russia. He held numerous solo exhibitions in Europe and the United States. During his almost 60-year career, he created around 6,000 paintings, making him one of the most prolific artists of his time. Some say it was around 20,000. We may never know the true number. Before we move on, what is Romanticism? Romanticism, also known as the Romantic era, was an artistic, literary, musical and intellectual movement that originated in Europe towards the end of the 18th century, and in most areas was at its peak in the period from 1800 to 1850. Romanticism was characterized by its emphasis on emotion and individualism as well as glorification of all the past and nature, preferring the medieval rather than the classical. The movement emphasized intense emotion as an authentic source of aesthetic experience, placing new emphasis on such emotions as apprehension, horror and terror, and awe, especially that experienced in confronting the new aesthetic categories of the sublimity and beauty of nature.

The distinct transition in Russian art from Romanticism to realism in the mid-19th century left Ivazovsky, who would always retain a Romantic style, open to criticism. Proposed reasons for his unwillingness or inability to change began with his location. His mindset and worldview were similarly considered old-fashioned and did not correspond to the developments in Russian art and culture. Ivazovsky's later works contained dramatic scenes and was usually done on a larger scale. He depicted the Romantic struggle between man and the elements in the form of the sea. Iban Ivazovsky is one of the few Russian artists to achieve wide recognition during his lifetime. Today, he is considered as one of the most prominent marine artists of the 19th century, and, overall, one of the greatest marine artists in Russia and the world.
