About this work

A dense naval engagement unfolds across a choppy sea, with tall-masted sailing ships firing broadsides amid thick clouds of gun smoke. Red flags fly from the vessels on the left while blue-and-white flags appear on the ships to the right, and fire and smoke rise over the shoreline. This Battle of Sinope painting by Ivan Aivazovsky dates from 1853 and is held by the Central Naval Museum.
