Offered unframed.Ivan Konstantin Aivazovsky was a Russian-Armenian Romantic painter known for his depictions of seascapes, for which he is considered one of the greatest marine artists in history. He was born on July 29, 1817 in Feodosia, Russia and was baptized as Hovhannes Aivazian. He went on to study at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg before traveling throughout Europe, living briefly in Italy. When he returned to Russia in the early 1940s, he was appointed the official painter of the Russian navy and made an academician of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. Over the course of his 60-year career, he produced approximately 6,000 paintings and held 55 solo exhibitions in Europe and the United States. The phrase “worthy of Aivazovsky’s brush” was coined by the writer Anton Chekhov in his 1897 play Uncle Vanya, solidifying the artist’s lasting importance to the history of Russian art. Aivazovsky’s house in Feodosia was opened as the Aivazovsky National Art Gallery in 1800, where it remains a tourist attraction.
