About the artwork

The Ninth Wave is an 1850 painting by Russian marine painter Ivan Aivazovsky. It is his best-known work.

The title refers to an old sailing expression referring to a wave of incredible size that comes after a succession of incrementally larger waves.

It depicts a sea after a night storm and people facing death attempting to save themselves by clinging to debris from a wrecked ship. The debris, in the shape of the cross, appears to be a Christian metaphor for salvation from the earthly sin. The painting has warm tones, which reduce the sea's apparent menacing overtones and a chance for the people to survive seems plausible. This painting shows both the destructiveness and beauty of nature.
Ivan Konstantinovich Ajvazovsky (Armenian: Հովհաննես Կոստանդինի Այվազյան ; Russian: Иван Константинович Айвазовский) (Feodosiya, Crimea 29 July 1817 - Feodosiya, Crimea 5 May 1900) was a Russian painter of Armenian descent. Ajvazovsky was mainly a painter of romantic sea, river and beach scenes.
