00:00I.V.A.Z.O.V.S.K.
00:27I.V.A.Z.O.V.S.K.
00:28He was a very talented child.
00:30He learned to play the violin and began to paint by himself.
00:33His first easel was a wall in his father's house instead of canvas.
00:38He was content with plaster and a brush was replaced with a piece of coal.
00:43The prodigy was instantly noticed by a couple of prominent benefactors.
00:48First, the drawings of unusual skill drew attention of the Feodosian architect Jakov Koch.
00:55He also became the first person to have given Ivan his first lesson in fine arts.
01:01After an unhappy marriage with Julia Graves, with whom he had four daughters,
01:06I.V.A.Z.O.V.S.K.
01:07met another woman whom he saw at a funeral procession for a famous merchant of Feodosia, Sarkezov.
01:13The coffin was followed by the widow, a young Armenian woman of striking beauty.
01:19A year later Anna Sarkezova became Mrs. I.V.A.Z.O.V.S.K.
01:23Although at the time of marriage he was already 65 years old, I.V.A.Z.O.V.S.K.
01:27was deeply in love with his wife and was really happy about this lifetime.
01:32Anna was almost 40 years younger than her husband, but being a woman of natural tact, sensivity and warmth distinguished her.
01:40She admired her husband's skill and understood him totally, even though she hadn't visited museums or read books on arts.
01:49Friends, artists and students were always welcome at the house where they lived.
01:53Anna's beauty also inspired I.V.A.Z.O.V.S.K. to paint her portrait, which has survived the toil of time.
02:00The artwork is located in I.V.A.Z.O.V.S.K. National Art Gallery of Feodosia, Crimea.
02:07The oil-on-canvas painting Storm at Sea was created by Ivan I.V.A.Z.O.V.S.K. in 1873.
02:14The subject of this painting, being of a stormy sea and a ship wrecking on a rocky coast, is not unusual for I.V.A.Z.O.V.S.K.'s oeuvre.
02:22But its colourful chord and picturesque execution were a phenomenon in the Russian pictorial arts of the 1870s.
02:30His portrayal of the storm is so accurate that it seems as if the painter himself was among the splashes of the waves surged by the hurricane.
02:39Through a rushing whirlwind, the silhouette of a sinking ship and blurry outlines of a rocky coast are barely visible.
02:47With regard to one of these paintings by I.V.A.Z.O.V.S.K., a famous writer Dostoevsky wrote
02:53The storm by I.V.A.Z.O.V.S.K. is amazingly good, as are all of his storms, and he is a master of them, with no rivals in this area.
03:02His storm is ravishing. It possesses the kind of eternal beauty that plunges the viewer into a real, live storm.
03:09The piece of art is currently in the State Russian Museum.
03:13At first glance, what we see here is a depiction of a shipwreck that we have come to expect of I.V.A.Z.O.V.S.K.'s paintings.
03:21But on the other hand, this work is very different from his earlier paintings.
03:26The subject of the painting is a raging sea with a ship wrecking on a rocky shore.
03:31I.V.A.Z.O.V.S.K. depicted the storm as if he was in the thick of it.
03:35It often seems as if the painter himself was among the splashes of the waves surged by the hurricane.
03:42Through a rushing whirlwind, a silhouette of a sinking ship and blurry outlines of a rocky coast are barely visible.
03:50The masts of the ship are unbroken and the sails are not settled.
03:54Probably because it was not the storm, but an underwater reef that caused the crash.
03:59The ship is slowly sinking.
04:01The sailors try to escape on boats, gliding on the water.
04:05The helmsman indicates the direction to follow.
04:08The people are exhausted by the struggle with the elements of nature.
04:12Yet a rainbow appears on the sky, promising salvation.
04:16It is like a mirage, disappearing and flickering now and then, captivating, illusory.
04:22The waves subside and do not impose any risk on the survivors.
04:26Today, the rainbow is housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.
