End of Storm is a 1839 oil by Ivan Aivazovsky, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
The painting depicts a dramatic seascape, with a dark stormy sky and a turbulent sea. The waves are crashing against the shore, and the spray is visible in the air. In the distance, there are ships struggling to stay afloat. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, adding to the overall sense of energy and movement. The painting is a great example of the artist's skill in capturing the power and beauty of the natural world. For more information on the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up the technique.
Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky (Russian: Иван Константинович Айвазовский; 29 July 1817 – 2 May 1900) was a Russian Romantic painter who is considered one of the greatest masters of marine art.
