Yeah, I recently got this book on Russian painters which covers the 18th and 19th centuries. Practically all 200+ pages are filled with high quality images of full color paintings.

He's one of the best at seascapes that I've ever seen. The closest that I've seen today was one of my teachers, Edward Minoff:

That's not a painting though, rather, a digital drawing.

Gravity's Rainbow. I saw it at the Birmingham Art Museum a few years ago and was basically mezmerized. I'm not much of an art guy but this one was 10/10.

That looks really bad, especially compared to what TC posted.

It's not really meant to appeal in the same way, so it's understandable that it might not strike you the same way as it does me. It's not really shooting for visual appeal, but instead what it looks like is some kind of signal. It invites my brain to try to calculate something about it, and I think the intrigue is actually trying to figure out exactly what.

I think this is vaguely the appeal of abstract art in general, but the blobs and splatters that you see in lots of abstract are just make my brain go "colors, whoopty-doo" in a similar way to the way some people probably look at GR and go "wow angles who cares" lol.

I can definitely appreciate it. While I admire works like the ones in my OP, any form of art can potentially be captivating on a visual or intellectual or emotion level.

There's just a lot of contemporary or modernist or postmodernist works where the message isn't apparent and there isn't much of visual interest. Like I was looking at an art catalogue the other day at work and an artist literally made a sculpture of a trash bag with trash in it.

It's just masterful. Even the reflections are outstanding.

I want several of them for my home.....they would be wonderful to hang on the wall.

Most amazing that he supposedly did all or most of them from memory:

According to Rosa Newmarch Aivazovsky "never painted his pictures from nature, always from memory, and far away from the seaboard."[51] Rogachevsky wrote that "His artistic memory was legendary. He was able to reproduce what he had seen only for a very short time, without even drawing preliminary sketches."[25]
