What do we see when we look at the picture? It is early
morning, the first rays of the sun rising almost to the
sky, and the seemingly very low sky, which practically
merged with the high waves. The imagination is even
scared to imagine what an unbridled element raged at
night, and what the sailors had to endure from the
wrecked ship.
It is not so easy to describe Aivazovsky's "9th shaft" as
it seems, because the artist was able to subtly convey
all the power, strength, greatness and indescribable
beauty of the sea element to admiration. In the
foreground of this rampage are several surviving sailors
trying to stay on the wreckage of the wrecked ship's
masts. They are desperate, but together they try to
resist the huge, frothy wave that is about to hit them.
Will it succeed? Nobody knows…
