Aivazovsky moonlit night on the Black Sea description. Description of Aivazovsky's paintings

Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky is known throughout the world as a marine painter, the sea was his muse and love, the artist could paint it endlessly. And indeed, the expanses of the sea better than Aivazovsky no one depicted. The artist managed to achieve such reality of landscapes, thanks to skillful color rendering, that when admiring his next canvas, you involuntarily feel like a participant in the picture.

Besides the famous painting the artist “The Ninth Wave” is also famous for his other works with seascapes. So the picture " Moonlight night. Bath in Feodosia” is completely opposite in character to “The Ninth Wave”; every stroke, every stroke is imbued with calmness, love and tenderness. And not in vain, because it is the Crimean town of Feodosia that is small homeland artist, here he was born and periodically lived, so in this painting Ivan Konstantinovich combined his love and affection for the sea with childhood feelings for his native place.

The center of the plot of the picture is the sea on a moonlit night, only here it is not at all raging and rebellious, but calm and cozy. A lunar path runs almost through the center of the canvas, dividing the canvas into two halves, catching your eye from the very first seconds. It is she who illuminates the remaining details of the picture for us: ships moored near the shore, a small bridge with a bathhouse, and two characters - girls. One of them is swimming to the bathhouse; most likely, in a minute she will come ashore and present her naked, beautiful wet body to the moon’s gaze. Another girl, completely dressed, sits inside the gazebo; judging by her pose, it seems that she has been waiting for her friend, sister or mistress for quite a long time. Considering that the picture was painted in 1853, then the version with the maid and her mistress is more similar to reality.

After a careful examination of the bathhouse, illuminated from the inside by a bright lantern light, and two mysterious girls, the gaze again involuntarily turns to the sea and lunar path, running through it. And it’s not surprising, because Aivazovsky’s real main character is everywhere. Every stroke of the water surface is written with such reality, with such clarity that it seems as if you can hear the sound of a light breeze and feel the salty taste of sea air.
The iridescent glare of the moon on the sea surface, like a lamp, illuminates the beauty of the surrounding landscapes. What is the sky alone worth: from darkness and mist Moonlight pulls out heavy ragged clouds, as if hanging directly above the expanses of water. Thanks to the same light, the sea itself acquired a greenish mysterious hue, merging with the seemingly ephemeral clouds on the horizon. Thanks to this, the landscape seems mysterious, unreal and a little magical. The combination of such a gloomy and heavy sky with a quiet and cozy sea is not accidental; the artist wanted to show that the calmness of the water surface is deceptive and illusory, the elements can disperse in a matter of minutes and show their real raging character.

On the right side of the picture, the city embankment and residential buildings peek out a little from the darkness, there are no lamps burning in any of the windows, most likely it’s about three in the morning, all the residents are sleeping peacefully, but soon the city will begin to wake up, and behind it the serene sea will wake up. The artist was able to use oil paints to convey on canvas this short moment of serenity and tranquility of the sea element, when everything around seemed to freeze in anticipation of something important. Soon the morning will come and the haze of mystery will disappear, a new day will come, but this will be a completely different story...

Today is Aivazovsky’s painting “Moonlit Night. Bath in Feodosia" is located in Taganrog in the city art gallery, its size is 94 by 143 cm.

Description of Aivazovsky’s painting “Moonlit Night. Bath in Feodosia"

The great Russian painter Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky painted the painting “Moonlit Night.
Bath in Feodosia" in the mid-18th century.
In the picture I see a calm night sea, illuminated by the bright, but at the same time diffused light of the full moon, breaking through the light haze of clouds.
The vast, quiet surface of the sea, connecting with the black night sky, which occupies more than half of the painting, creates a feeling of mystery and tranquility.

On foreground, on the pier there is a tiny house with an open door through which dim light escapes.
This appears to be a bathhouse.
Through the open door I see a woman's silhouette.
Apparently, this is a young bather who is attracted to the night sea.
She is sitting on a chair in a long light dress.
She has dark hair, hands folded on knees.
The hair is pulled back into a neat bun.
The lunar path seems to illuminate sailboats with lowered sails and the embankment, on which a vague silhouette can be seen.
Most likely, this is a young fisherman in love with the sea.
In the distance, on the hillside you can see cozy little houses.
Their windows are dark, their inhabitants have long since gone to bed.
The hills themselves are densely covered with trees, and their appearance gives a feeling of fairy-tale charm. A woman swims across the night sea, like a sea mermaid, leaving ripples behind her.
According to the fashion of the time, she bathes in a long white shirt.
Apparently, she was the one who used the house and then rushed off on her night swim.
And, apparently, it is the girl sitting in the bathhouse who is waiting for her.
The higher the sky, the darker and more impenetrable it looks.

And in general, the whole picture is painted in such a way that the closer to the center, the more clearly the details are written, the brighter and lighter the colors.
This painting is undoubtedly considered one of outstanding works artist Aivazovsky.

15. To Aivazovsky’s painting “Moonlit Night. Bath in Feodosia"

Painting by Ivan Aivazovsky (Hovhannes Ayvazyan) “Moonlit Night. Bath in Feodosia” was painted in 1853, its size is 94 by 143 cm. The work is done in oil on canvas. Today is Aivazovsky’s painting “Moonlit Night. Bath in Feodosia" is located in Taganrog in the city art gallery.
Painting “Moonlit night. Bath in Feodosia" is completely opposite in character to "The Ninth Wave": every stroke, every stroke is imbued with calmness, love and tenderness. And not in vain
after all, it is the Crimean town of Feodosia that is the painter’s small homeland. He was born in Feodosia and periodically lived there, so in this picture Ivan Konstantinovich combined his love and affection for the sea with childhood feelings for the seascape.
The center of the plot of the picture is the sea on a moonlit night, only here it is not at all raging and rebellious, as in the film “The Ninth Wave”, but, on the contrary, calm and cozy. A lunar path runs almost through the center of the canvas, dividing it into two halves and attracting the eye precisely here. It illuminates the remaining details of the picture: ships moored near the shore. The gaze is especially drawn to the small bridge with the bathhouse and the two girls. One is swimming, returning to the bathhouse, and will soon present a naked, wet body to the lunar gaze. Another girl, completely dressed, is sitting inside the gazebo; it seems that she has been waiting for a friend, or maybe a sister or mistress, for quite a long time. And since the picture was painted in 1853, the option with the maid and her mistress is still more suitable.
If you take a closer look at the bathhouse, illuminated from the inside by a bright lantern light, and the two mysterious girls, your gaze again involuntarily turns to the sea and the lunar path running along it. And it’s not surprising, because Aivazovsky’s real main character is everywhere. Every stroke of the water surface is written with such reality, with such clarity, as if you could hear the sound of a light breeze and feel the salty taste of sea air on your lips.
The iridescent glare of the moon on the surface of the sea, like a lamp, illuminates the beauty of the surrounding landscapes. What is the sky alone worth: from the darkness and mist, the moonlight pulls out the heavy, ragged clouds hanging
above sea spaces. And thanks to the light, the sea acquired a greenish mysterious hue, merging with the seemingly ephemeral clouds on the horizon. Thanks to this, the landscape seems mysterious, unreal and a little magical. The combination of such a gloomy and heavy sky with a quiet and cozy sea is not accidental: the artist showed that the calm of the water surface is deceptive and ghostly, the elements can disperse in a matter of minutes and show the real character of a storm.
On the right side of the picture, the city embankment and residential buildings peek out from the darkness; there are no lamps burning in any of the windows - it’s clear deep night, all the residents are sleeping. The artist was able to use oil paints on canvas to convey this short moment of serenity and calm of the sea elements, when everything around seemed to freeze in anticipation of something important. Soon the morning will come and the haze of mystery will disappear, a new day is coming!

I.K. Aivazovsky traveled a lot in search of inspiration. The result of one of the trips to Crimea is the painting “Sea. Moonlight Night" written with beautiful landscape baths in Feodosia. The author with his creation conveyed and showed us all his love for the sea and seascapes.

The play of light in this work amazes with its unique beauty. Fabulous night sea with green tint and the half-lit sky with the bright moon are pleasing to the eye. The skies are covered with thick clouds, and the moon seems to have emerged from their web and is illuminating the path of sailboats quietly sailing on the calm sea with its light.

Most of the canvas is occupied by the amazingly beautiful sky. The clouds are drawn so realistically and beautifully, and against their background there is a small bathhouse on the pier. A woman quietly swims up to her, resembling a mermaid in the night light, and another, probably her friend, is waiting in the house, whose silhouette is clearly visible through the open door. Dark-haired beauty dressed in snow-white long dress she folded her hands on her knees and waited.

In the distance you can see mountains covered with dense trees and a sleeping city. Not a single person dared to light a light in the window, as if they knew that a stunning canvas was being created nearby.

In the picture I see a spring day. Lots of water and sky. The willows are blooming. I think these are the first “flowers” that spring. It can be seen that it is still cool. There are no insects yet, even the birds are hiding.
