Notes

Adolf Ivanovich Fessler was a pupil of the great Russian marine artist, Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovskii (1817-1900), and was markedly influenced by him. This luminous and beautifully executed composition is one of his finest works, and compares very favourably with some of the best paintings by the master.
