Orage qui se prépare
Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky
1899
Aivazovsky was the ultimate sea-obsessed artist, churning out over 6,000 seascapes in his lifetime, and this dramatic scene shows exactly why he couldn't look away. A lonely ship, flying a tiny red flag, is being tossed like a toy by churning turquoise waves under a heavy, brooding sky. It captures the raw power of nature typical of the Romantic movement, where the ocean is always the main character and humans are just along for a terrifying ride.
