"The Ninth av. We" - one of the most famous paintings by Russian marine painter Ivan Aivazovsky. The painter depicts the sea after the strongest storm of the night and people shipwrecked. The sun's rays illuminate the huge waves. The biggest of them, the ninth wave is ready to attack the people trying to survive on the ruins of the tower. Despite the fact that the ship was destroyed and there was only the mast, the mast people were alive and continued struggling with the storm. The painter depicts the sea in the warm and beautiful tones. We penetrates deep into the dramatic situation and appeals to the visitors of his exhibition. He tries to involve our fantasy what could happen to the people. As far as I’m able to judge has a tremendous influence on the people, I’m quite impressed with his paintys.
