About this work

A three-masted ship lists heavily in churning dark waters, its hull partly broken as spray rises around it. Figures huddle on a pale, snow-covered shore in the foreground beside scattered cargo and a wooden spar, while two more vessels loom faintly through the mist to the right. This painting by Ivan Aivazovsky, dated 1875, is held by San Lazzaro degli Armeni.
