my favourite picture
The title of the painting is “The Black Sea”. It tells me, that on the picture I’ll see the Black sea, but actually it’s not only the Black, but black by its color: there is a storm. That’s why we may say that the artist used such a title not only to paint the Black sea, or it can not be the Black sea at all, but to show us the darkness of the heavy sea.
The painting makes an emotional influence on me. The overall mood of the painting is mysteriousness, it seems like something will appear from the water: also there is such a sense like the storm will come to an end because the sky is started to lift in the background of canvas.
Truly speaking there is only one element of the painting – the sea. It becomes darker and darker from the foreground up to background. The fishing boat is hardly seen on the general background. My eye flows across the whole painting. There is something that draws my eye into the painting: it’s the boat, we can’t notice it at first sight. I don’t think that it’s been copied from reality or from a photograph it is the imagination of the painter, the condition of his soul, his mood and life.
Color has been used realistically: green, black and emerald sea, white foam of water-waves and grey sky; and is used to convey emotion at the same time. Black sea symbolizes trouble and coming misfortune, emerald sea frightens the viewer and grey sky doesn’t give us a chance to escape from the will of the God. The colors are cool and they suit the subject.
