IVAN AIVAZOVSKY painting of a shipswreck

Post by aukepalmhof » Mon Jul 24, 2017 8:50 pm

Romania issued four stamps in 2017 depicting marine landscapes in paintings, only the 15l depict a part of a mast of a shipwrecked vessel, on which some people cling. Could not find anything on the wreck, so most probably it is an artist imagination of a shipwreck. The painting is in the National Art Museum in Bucharest, Romania.

Considered the Marine Landscape Master, Ivan Aivazovsky created paintings of the same theme, the sea. Aivazovsky was the one who introduced the marine landscapes in Russian art, making this one of the important moments of the 19th century plastic art history. This year we commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of the great painter. One of the paintings of the great lover of the sea, “Shipwreck” is illustrated on the stamp with the face value of Lei 15.
In ultramarine blue tones to shades of green, quiet or full of storm, crystalline or charged and dark, so is the sea rendered in the paintings of Aivazovsky.
Yet Aivazoksi’s marines do not copy nature, they are always rendered in connection with all the other elements, resulting in the veracity of images created.

Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky (1817‒1900) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Aivazovsky was a Russian painter, art patron, professor, academician and an honorary member of the Imperial Academy of Arts. He was born in Feodosia on July 29, 1817. He founded an art school and a gallery there, which now boasts the most complete collection of the painter’s works.

The artist mainly painted seascapes during his trips to England, Spain, Germany, Africa, America and Middle East. During his life, he created around 6,000 paintings and won international fame as a marine artist.

Aivazovsky was an art patron and used his fortune generously for charitable purposes. He gave money to build an archeological museum in Feodosia and for many urban development works.

The postage stamp features the Entrance to Sevastopol Bay (1852) painting by Ivan Aivazovsky, and the souvenir sheets margins bear a portrait of the artist.
