It depicts the strongest wave of a violent storm. The Russian seamen's legend asserts it destroys all in its path. The reproduction isn't good but a storm is moving off to the left and the Ninth Wave appears and painted to to suggest it may miss the survivors stranded on a mast. The sun represents the spirtual light as well and you can see it reflecting along the sea and touching the mast shaped as a cross. Aivazovsky always offered hope in his paintings regardless of how violent they appeared.

I think that's great, you don't often hear about them and they have some wonderful works. I've been a fan of several of them for some time (Shishkin, Repin, Vereshchagin to name a few), and there are some fascinating works by them. I did a blog awhile ago of an Aivazovsky and Repin piece (Pushkin's Farewell to the Sea) which was nice, and the first time I had heard of Aivazovsky. James Gurney's blog has mentioned Repin a couple of times this week even. Thanks for the great post as always! It’s interesting, I’ve seen mention of Russian artists quite a bit lately.

Six THOUSAND??? It really doesn't seem possible. I checked the links and you made no mistake. Armeniapedia says OVER six thousand, actually. I only wish I could produce that many... Great post as always, Charley. Wow. Six THOUSAND??? It really doesn’t seem possible. I checked the links and you made no mistake. Armeniapedia says OVER six thousand, actually.
