Sunset Over Ischia, Aivazovsky Poster

The canvas “Sunset over Ischia” differs opposite serenity and pacification, you can look at it endlessly, like a real sunset. Almost in the centre of the picture is a sailing raft, another one is seen in the distance in the sea fog.The third sailboat is seen in the distance itself, it is small, but it is written as if it is lit from sunset. The fog as if envelops everything around before night falls. But while the sea waves are illuminated by the sun that has not yet hidden behind the island. Golden sunlight gently merges with shades of blue sky, adding gold to the clouds. The sea in the picture is surprisingly calm, and in the rays of the sunset it seems golden at all.
