![Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky - Sunset, Crimea [1865]](http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3948/15618432056_8bec5e8294_o.jpg)
This work is an elegant example of the beauty of the artist’s smaller works and his talent in conveying the effects of the setting sun on the water. It was completed in 1865, during an exceptionally prolific period. 'Between 1862 and 1867…he painted more than two hundred pictures, not counting the small ones, of which he painted many.’
