Romantic Painter Ivan Aivazovsky's Ninth Wave was made in 1850 and the original painting is in State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg. The original size of the work is 221 x 332 cm and is made of oil on canvas.
The Ninth Wave as Aivazovsky's most famous work, is a huge painting of nearly 11 feet (3.3 meters) by 7 feet (2.2 meters), which portrays a group of people clinging to flotsam from a wrecked ship, in the midst of a tempestuous sea surrounded by the brilliant gold tones of the sunrise. The title refers to a traditional nautical belief that the ninth wave is the last, largest and most deadly wave in a series, at which point the cycle begins again. Painted when Aivazovsky was 33 years old, it is characteristic of his mature Romanticism in technique, theme and populist appeal.
