Aivazovsky

I'm outa here for some more quiet adventures in Japan, my second homeland. I don't know when I'll be posting anything next.

As is my habit, I like to share something of the roads less travelled. Here are some of the works of Ivan Aivazovsky (1817-1900), a Russian Armenian famous for his nautical art.

These paintings have a way of pulling you in and turning you about.

Travel is like that.

  2. This was great. I have always really liked 19th century marine painting (just a defect, I guess) and needless to say, I had never heard of this guy. I really enjoyed seeing his work.
