# Ivan Aivazovsky

> He painted water the way most people only see it in dreams - six thousand canvases over sixty years, almost all of them the sea. In 19th-century Russia, "worthy of Aivazovsky's brush" meant something was almost too beautiful to bear.

*Russian marine painter (1817-1900)*

## Bio

Baptized Hovhannes Aivazian, he was born to Armenian parents in the Crimean port of Feodosia in 1817. The Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg trained him, and by the early 1840s he was traveling Europe and living briefly in Italy. He returned to Russia and became the main painter of the Russian Navy, attending military maneuvers and moving easily among the Empire's elite. The state sponsored him, exhibitions stretched from Europe to the United States, and he remained well-regarded until his death in 1900. His seascapes dominate the output - though he painted battle scenes, Armenian themes, and portraits too - and today his work fills Russian, Ukrainian, Armenian, and Turkish museums.
