In the Penza virtual branch of the Russian Museum, another lesson was held for students of the Children's Art School No. 1 named after V.E. Tatlin. Today they were shown a film about the work of the painter of the Main Naval Staff, actual privy councilor, academician and honorary member of the Imperial Academy of Arts Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky. As an artist of world renown, Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky preferred to live and work in his homeland - in the Crimea. Aivazovsky is best known for his seascapes, which account for more than half of his work. The artist is considered one of the greatest marine painters of all time. Ivan Konstantinovich is famous mainly for his seascapes and battles, but his work was not limited to this. The artist created a series of portraits of the Crimean coastal cities, depicted the steppes of Little Russia, which he observed during numerous trips from Feodosia to St. Petersburg. He painted pictures on biblical and historical themes. Aivazovsky also painted portraits, but, not considering himself an excellent portrait painter, the artist undertook to paint only people close to him. Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky died on April 19 (May 2, new style) 1900 in his hometown of Feodosia at the age of 82.
