The life of an inimitable marine painter
The artist was born on July 17, 1817 in the city of Feodosia in the family of an Armenian businessman, who soon went bankrupt. The urban beauties of the gently sloping shores predetermined its entire future. The boy's childhood passed in poverty, but at a young age Ivan showed abilities in music and drawing. Initially future artist studied at the Armenian parish institution, then at the Simferopol gymnasium.
In 1833, Aivazovsky became a student, where after he studied in the landscape class with M. N. Vorobyov. The predetermining role for the artist was the visit to F. Tanner, who has special skills in depicting water. The artist noticed the talent of the young man and took him to him, where he shared his techniques and skills.
The year 1837 became a decisive one. At this time, the name of the unique marine painter, Aivazovsky, often began to sound. Paintings with the names "Moonlight Night in Gurzuf" (1839) and " Coast"(1840) were recognized as teachers of the academies, for which the artist was awarded a medal.

Mastery and creativity of the genius of the sea element
The majesty and emotionality of sea battles are very clearly expressed in the work of Aivazovsky. Perhaps this is due to the phenomenal observation of the artist, because he never painted a picture from nature, but only took notes and notes. “The movements of living jets are elusive for the brush,” said Aivazovsky. Paintings with titles " Chesme battle”and“ The Ninth Wave ”, riddled with a cycle of actions, just emphasize the artist’s peculiarity of observing and subsequently reproducing events.
Amazing work speed
The unusualness of the artist can be traced not only in observation, but also in the speed of execution. Do a lot of work for such a short time could only Ivan Aivazovsky. Paintings with the names "Black Sea Landscape" and "Storm" the artist created in just 2 hours, and doing the work with a kind of technique. Particularly impressive are the sea battles depicted on the canvas, the plot of which is perceived in one breath. The drama turns into an expression of the spiritual warmth of light, which emphasizes the unusual style. Looking at the creations of the master, you literally feel this swiftness and whirlpool of waves. The transfer of mood proceeds with a slight duality of silence and rage. The significant success of the master lies in the transfer of realism of what is happening, because only a genius can depict the emotional composition of the sea element in this way.

This is especially felt in his depiction of the boundless and violent power of the elements of the sea, in its sunsets and the light of the moon coming to life on the waves, in the courage of people who fought with the sea element (“The Ninth Wave”, which we will talk about a little later).
Their the best masterpieces Aivazovsky always created quickly - he needed 2 days at the most. Especially when the work was done by inspiration, and not by order, it turned out best. The marine painter started with a quick sketch indicating the main elements and light sources. And then he went to the workshop and restored each shade from memory. That is how the work “Sea. Koktebel bay.

Aivazovsky briefly left his native Feodosia. Even when St. Petersburg opened all the doors for him with titles, fame and money, the marine painter with all his heart rushed home, to the sea.
Having settled in a house on the coast, the artist forever remained devoted to the sea. It became his muse and the main character for the paintings. Constantly communicating with sailors, the artist knew about the superstitions that lived in their circles. He knew about the fatal ninth wave, which brought only death to the ships.

Most outstanding artist Armenian origin XIX century.
Brother of the Armenian historian and Archbishop of the Armenian Apostolic Church Gabriel Aivazovsky.
Hovhannes (Ivan) Konstantinovich Aivazovsky was born into an Armenian family of a merchant Gevork (Konstantin) and Hripsime Ayvazyan. On July 17 (29), 1817, the priest of the Armenian church in the city of Feodosia made a record that Konstantin (Gevorg) Aivazovsky and his wife Hripsime were born "Hovhannes, the son of Gevork Ayvazyan." Aivazovsky's ancestors were from Armenians who moved to Galicia from Western Armenia in the 18th century. The artist's grandfather's name was Grigor Ayvazyan, and his grandmother was Ashkhen. It is known that his relatives owned large landed property in the Lvov region, but no documents more accurately describing the origin of Aivazovsky have been preserved. His father Konstantin (Gevorg) and after moving to Feodosia wrote a surname in the Polish manner: "Gaivazovsky" (surname - Polonized form Armenian surname Ayvazyan). Aivazovsky himself in his autobiography says about his father, that due to a quarrel with his brothers in his youth, he moved from Galicia to the Danubian principalities (Moldavia, Wallachia), where he engaged in trade, and from there to Feodosia.
Some lifetime publications dedicated to Aivazovsky are transmitted from his words family tradition that among his ancestors were Turks. According to these publications, the artist’s late father told him that the artist’s great-grandfather (according to Bludova, on the female line) was the son of a Turkish military leader and, as a child, during the capture of Azov by Russian troops (1696), was saved from death by a certain Armenian who baptized and adopted (option - a soldier).
After the death of the artist (in 1901), his biographer N. N. Kuzmin told the same story in his book, but about the artist’s father, referring to an unnamed document in Aivazovsky’s archive; however, no evidence exists for the veracity of this legend.
The artist's father, Konstantin Grigoryevich Aivazovsky (1771-1841), after moving to Feodosia, married a local Armenian woman Hripsima (1784-1860), and from this marriage three daughters and two sons were born - Hovhannes (Ivan) and Sargis (later in monasticism - Gabriel) . Initially, Aivazovsky's business was successful, but during the plague of 1812 he went bankrupt.
Ivan Aivazovsky from childhood discovered in himself artistic and musical ability; in particular, he taught himself to play the violin. Theodosian architect Yakov Khristianovich Kokh, who was the first to pay attention to artistic ability boy, gave him the first lessons of skill. Yakov Khristianovich also helped the young Aivazovsky in every possible way, periodically giving him pencils, paper, and paints. He also recommended paying attention to young talent Feodosia mayor Alexander Ivanovich Kaznacheev. After graduating from the Feodosia district school, Aivazovsky was enrolled in the Simferopol gymnasium with the help of Kaznacheev, who at that time was already an admirer of the talent of the future artist. Then Aivazovsky was accepted at public expense in Imperial Academy arts of St. Petersburg.
Aivazovsky arrived in Petersburg on August 28, 1833. Initially, he studied in the landscape class with Maxim Vorobyov. In 1835, for the landscapes "View of the seaside in the vicinity of St. Petersburg" and "Study of air over the sea" he received a silver medal and was assigned as an assistant to the fashionable French marine painter Philip Tanner. Studying with Tanner, Aivazovsky, despite the latter's prohibition to work independently, continued to paint landscapes and presented five paintings at the autumn exhibition of the Academy of Arts in 1836. Aivazovsky's works received favorable reviews from critics. Tanner complained about Aivazovsky to Nicholas I, and by order of the Tsar, all of Aivazovsky's paintings were removed from the exhibition. The artist was forgiven only six months later and assigned to the class battle painting to Professor Alexander Ivanovich Sauerweid for maritime military painting. After studying in Sauerweid's class for only a few months, in September 1837 Aivazovsky received the Bolshoi gold medal for the painting "Calm". In view of Aivazovsky's special success in teaching, an unusual decision was made for the academy - to release Aivazovsky from the academy two years ahead of schedule and send him for these two years to the Crimea for independent work, and after that - on a business trip abroad for six years.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
After the end of the war in 1856, on the way from France, where international exhibition his works were exhibited, Aivazovsky visited Istanbul for the second time. He was warmly welcomed by the local Armenian diaspora, and also, under the patronage of the court architect Sargis Balyan, was received by Sultan Abdul-Mejid I. By that time, the Sultan's collection already had one painting by Aivazovsky. As a sign of admiration for his work, the Sultan awarded Ivan Konstantinovich with the Order of Nishan Ali, IV degree.
The third trip to Istanbul, at the invitation of the Armenian diaspora, I. K. Aivazovsky makes in 1874. Many artists of Istanbul at that time were influenced by the work of Ivan Konstantinovich. This is especially evident in the marine painting of M. Jivanyan. The brothers Gevork and Vagen Abdullahi, Melkop Telemaku, Hovsep Samandjiyan, Mkrtich Melkisetikyan later recalled that Aivazovsky also had a significant influence on their work. One of Aivazovsky's paintings was presented by Sargis Bey (Sarkis Balyan) to Sultan Abdulaziz. The Sultan liked the picture so much that he immediately ordered the artist 10 canvases with views of Istanbul and the Bosphorus. While working on this order, Aivazovsky constantly visited the Sultan's palace, made friends with him, as a result, he painted not 10, but about 30 different canvases. Before the departure of Ivan Konstantinovich, an official reception was arranged for the padishah in honor of awarding him the Order of Osmania II degree.
A year later, Aivazovsky again goes to the Sultan and brings him two paintings as a gift: “View of St. Petersburg from the Holy Trinity Bridge” and “Winter in Moscow” (these paintings are currently in the collection of the Dolmabahce Palace Museum).
Another war with Turkey ended in 1878. The San Stefano peace treaty was signed in a hall whose walls were decorated with paintings by a Russian artist. It was a symbol of the future good relations between Turkey and Russia.
Paintings by I. K. Aivazovsky, who were in Turkey, were repeatedly exhibited in various exhibitions. In 1880, an exhibition of the artist's paintings was held in the building of the Russian embassy. Upon its completion, Sultan Abdul-Hamid II presented I.K. Aivazovsky with a diamond medal.
In 1881, the owner of the art store, Ulman Grombach, held an exhibition of works famous masters: Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Breigl, Aivazovsky, Jerome. In 1882, the art exhibition I. K. Aivazovsky and Turkish artist Oskan Efendi. The exhibitions were a huge success.
In 1888, another exhibition was held in Istanbul, organized by Levon Mazirov (nephew of I. K. Aivazovsky), which presented 24 paintings by the artist. Half of the proceeds from her went to charitable purposes. Just these years account for the first graduation of the Ottoman Academy of Arts. Aivazovsky's style of writing can be traced in the works of the Academy graduates: "The sinking of the Ertugrul ship in Tokyo Bay" by the artist Osman Nuri Pasha, the painting "The Ship" by Ali Dzhemal, some marinas of Diyarbakir Tahsin.
In 1890, Ivan Konstantinovich's last trip to Istanbul was. He visited the Armenian Patriarchate and the Yildiz Palace, where he left his paintings as a gift. On this visit, he was awarded the Order of the Medjidie I degree by Sultan Abdul-Hamid II.

In the residence of the President of Turkey there is a painting “Sinking during a storm” (1899).
