[argisht87]

Aivazovsky was born in Russian Empire; he went through Russian school of painting ( which was based on Italian one.) Thus Aivazovsky is not part of "Armenian school of painting," ( if such thing even exists,) but inseparable part of Russian Art.

[BeautySavesWorld]

@AsterixYZ

If such thing even exists? It only shows u are not familiar with world Art since Armenian artists take their righteous place there...

[AsterixYZ]

@BeautySavesWorld

Please help me to get acquainted with Armenian school of painting, its tradition, other painters' names, paintings - any links?

[BeautySavesWorld]

@BeautySavesWorld

Simply, BEAUTIFUL beyond words!!!!These paintings are alive!!!

My mother's last name is Aivas (in spanish, from Aivaz in french, from Aivazosky) Her grandfather and his family moved to Beirut. They had to leave Istambul because the Catholic's massacre and because they were very close to the Sultan.

[enniopat]

lots of interests help to develop human emotions which then come across on the paintings...Leonardo da Vinci also had many interests (just wondering about the connection of interests and emotions as well as skill).

[Evilpawn2]

nice

[cuoylyf]

IMPRESIVE!

[zjazjalibu]

In order to be Russian you simply must to love Russian homeland. So don't argue he was Russian or Armenian. Some Russian Great rulers and number of people wasn't ethnic russians (Rurik, Katerina The Greate and even Stalin).

[AnatolianAmerican]

Armenians are an interesting culture, the guy who runs the biggest resort chain in Turkey is of Armenian origin (Sevan Nisanyan) and he created a great amount of money to boost Turkish tourism. I wish one day all of our ancestors can share Anatolia once again and heel the wounds of the past.

[BeautySavesWorld]

@AnatolianAmerican

Thanks for the indo on Sevan...There is another Armenian guy with the same name, he is jewelry designer in Turkey, Turkish first lady prefers his jewelry...Sevan becakci...

[AnatolianAmerican]

I didn't hear about him, but I know about Nisanyan and his chain of his hotels. Many of the best architects in the Ottoman era were of Armenian descent from what I know.

[ElenaMartynova]

@MyDimitry ~ Ivan from the Hebrew יוחנן (Yōḥānān) is ancient Jewish name, meaning: "Yahweh is merciful". .. that's what about names in general..;)).. all other is in previous message..

[halynamyroslava]

Very nice video.

There are a lot of paintings of Aivasovsky in Ukraine too because he is considered Ukrainian painter too not only because of Feodosia is in Ukraine now, but because his father and brothers of his father were born and lived near Lviv (Ukraine) and visited Armenian Church in Lviv.His father taught him to play the violin and sang Ukrainian songs. Once Aivazovsky performed them in the concert in St Petersburg. They say he invited home Ukrainian kobzars to listen them.

love

True artwork.

[masropian]

Believe the Duduk music is a from Givan Gasperian. Sounds like a musical redition of the song called "Sirelees"...My Love.

[osteocyte89]

amaaaazing ...

but i wanna ask for whom is this music ?

[BeautySavesWorld]

@osteocyte89

sorry, don't remember the composer, but it is Armenian music, played by Armenian Duduk...

[BeautySavesWorld]

@MyDimitry

How old are, kiddo? lol

Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky (Armenian: Հովհաննես Այվազովսկի – Hovhannes Aivasovsky, originally Aivazian,

[tigra979]

buttersworth is better

[Sk1pasz]

i love sea so much ,but i can't paint like that :(

[glendaleomg11]

if uguys havnt noticed..most of interesting and popular people who lived are ARMENIAN!..loosers..

[GrEenEYeDtHuG]

you just dont write that

[hajogh]

ARMENIAN GREAT PAINTER.

[helmuthoorn]

I hope nobody will get offended by this, but in some ways his work reminds me of Turner.

[HaydukofKilikia]

no Turner has another stile- more like Renoir and maybe impressionarists.....Ayvazovsk­iy gives full of colours and vivid more realistic seascapes.....great painter- he painted a few canvases for sultan Hamid palace in Kostandnupolis(Stanbul) and Sultan gave him Madjidie medal BUT BECAUSE OF MASSACRES AND GENOCIDE OF ARMENIANS BY TURKS IN 1909-1915 HE THREW that medal and all the money from sultan into the see...and painted armenian massacres in TRABZON

[GrEenEYeDtHuG]

its true

[sevan123890]

ITS REALY INTERESTING.

THANKS.

[justdoodleit]

Deep, Majestic & Powerful just like the Sea itself:)

[helmuthoorn]

He reminds me a lot of Turner.

Was he familiar with his work ?

[MountArarat7]

such a small populated nation and what a large number of talents, wasting Armenian genes is a big crime(worse than genocide)

[pavlovich74]

His "View of Kerch" is one of my favorite paintings. Just beautiful! Thank you for this video.

[haykido]

very nice video ;)

can someone give me a website where I can find descriptions about his painting

[sam0xin]

This is a great video, but not a same impressions I'v had, as I was waching Originals in Hermitage - St. Petersburg !

it's TOTALY diferent...TOTALY !!! aw...Thanks for video.

[abr1905]

Also, all of his paintings are full of enthusiasm. Even in the worse storms, there is always a small ray of light appearing somewhere on the horizon, meaning that the storm will be over soon and the people/ ship will be saved.

[BeautySavesWorld]

He was genious;-)

[abr1905]

Aivazovsky was one of the most notable people of the Crimea- he's done so much for the city of Feodosiya that this impact will live on for centuries. He left all of his painting & House-museum to his native city of Feodossia so that it will always attract the tourists. Besides other things he initiated the design/construction of the rail road in the Eastern Crimea( it's still functioning). He always tried to do smth for F. & people using his wealth and influence, unlike the current politicians.

[BeautySavesWorld]

As u have seen from my video he was equally a patriot for Crimea where he was born and Armenia where his roots are from. He has done equally much for both countries/nations but Armenian part is always omitted in Russian books.His collection is also in natioanl Gallery of Armenia signed in Armenian, Matenadaran has his letters to Cathalicos of Armenia in Armenian language and he asked to be burried in Armenian cemetry in his native Feodossia and the writtings there r both in Russian and Armenian.

[tesbihceken]

Beautysavesworld I used to be the turkish user called yarakpasha who said regrettable things on forums. I just want to know I changed my opinions on the armenian genocide, don't know though if you would care. Peace.

[BeautySavesWorld]

I am sorry, I don't remember u ...what was ur opinion before and now? If someone comes with peace I do care...

[DMGIT]

Great video!!!

There are about 15 paintings by Ayvazovski in St Lazarro ( Mekhitarist island near Venice)- and some of them are in extremely bad shape. One painting has a huge football ball size hall in it... This masterpieces need to be repaired and saved for future

[slavophile1]

Beautiful art.

[aatechnologyACYT]

1:16 we have a huge "original" replica of that painting in our lounge room!

[waganz]

Просто гениально У мня просто нет слов Я даже расплакался Айвазовский реально гений!И главное он наш гений!

[owen48]

tempest in the sea..really like the paintings

also that music is great.

[Gagikangelo]

When I was watching Ayvazovsky's original works in Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow I was standing in front of the paintings I could see every details of the nature was magically frozen on canvas and even the air quality at the time you can feel...Thanks people for posting and letting world to learn about Greatest Artists of Armenian Origin...

[YerevanGrl]

[CarolSueKirkpatrick]

Such beautiful art isn't it! Such an accomplished artist. Thank you for sharing this in video - also enjoyed the music that accompanied. Best wishes, Carol Sue :)
