Light, Water, and Sky

Following the success of "Seas, Cities and Dreams" in 2000, the authors return with a second volume on the works of this remarkable 19th century master who raised European maritime painting to a new level. Gianni Caffiero and Ivan Samarine have gathered the material for this book from public and private collections worldwide. The large number paintings illustrated offer a significant addition to the published corpus of Aivazovsky's oeuvre. Their chronological arrangement makes this volume an invaluable resource for scholars, collectors and Aivazovsky's many admirers.
