Frederic Chopin Nocturne No 9 in B Op.32 No 1 * * * "I wish I could throw off the thoughts which poison my happiness. And yet take a kind of pleasure in indulging them." - Frederic Chopin - * * * Works of Russian painter Ivan Aivazovsky.... Ivan Aivazovsky was born in Feodosia in 1817. In 1833 he entered the Academy of Arts and studied landscape painting under M.N. Vorobiev. Aivazovsky spent most of his life in Feodosia, the city where he was born. Aivazovsky himself was accomplished in many areas, played the violin, was an architect, dabbled in archeology, etc. Throughout his long life Aivazovsky traveled much, spending time in Rome, Paris and other European cities; working in the Caucasus; sailing to the shores of Asia; spending time in Egypt and, at the end of his life, in 1898, Aivazovsky even traveled to America. No matter where he went he always returned to his native Black Sea shores. Aivazovsky painted some six thousand works over his sixty-year career. They all show him to be a true master with a bright artistic temperament. Aivazovsky developed a romantic vein in the landscape connected with effects of light and atmosphere. The main theme of Aivazovsky's work is the theme of man and nature, man's struggle against the elements and love of nature. During war times his paintings depicted battle scenes. Aivazovsky's most popular paintings are The Rainbow (1873) and The Ninth Wave (1850). --------------------- --------------- You also can see my photos here :)
