When famous Realism artists emerged in France after the French Revolution of 1848, they wanted to portray the common man as he was. They went against the idealized paintings of Neoclassical artists and the often overly dramatized paintings of Romantic artists. These two art movements had been dominant during the first half of the 19th century. It went hand in hand with the political situation at the time. #Artworks #paintings #Realism #Realismpaintings

Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky loved painting the sea. A Crimean native, he was born in Feodosia, a port town, and thus had great waters as a constant companion. This 19th century Russian Armenian painter had real knack for depicting waves. Light and translucent, they perfectly capture the essence of the real thing. Many of these paintings featured a human element, too, with ships showing the struggle between man and nature.
