About this work

This painting shows a turbulent sea with a small boat struggling to stay afloat. The boat is filled with people, and they appear to be fighting against the strong waves. The sea is depicted in shades of green and white, with the waves crashing against the boat. In the background, the sky is dark and stormy, with lightning illuminating the clouds. The overall mood of the painting is one of turmoil and danger. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figure of the boat. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Emanuel Mahtesyan.
