Description:

This marine battle scene has been painted by talented artist Galina Davydova. It was originally painted on canvas the famous Russian painter of sea-scapes, Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky. This masterpiece that is called "The Naval Battle of Navarino, the 2nd of October, 1827" was finished in 1846. It is exhibited in the Naval School named after Dzerzhinsky in St.-Petersburg.
The naval Battle of Navarino was fought in October of 1827, during the Greek War of Independence (1821-29) in Navarino Bay, on the west coast of the Peloponnese peninsula. A combined Ottoman and Egyptian armada was destroyed by a combined British, French and Russian naval force, at the port of Navarino. It is notable for being the last major naval battle in history to be fought entirely with sailing ships. The Allied ships were better armed than their Egyptian and Ottoman opponents and their crews were better trained, contributing to a complete victory.
The scene is painted very close to the original. Dark blue tones of oils are used to paint the sea and the sky, while the fire of the sunset is drawn in bright red oils over a large piece of mother-of-pearl. Very beautiful!
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Its exterior is covered with dark blue lacquer while its interior is traditionally red. A hinge is fastened to the top of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, Fedoskino, and the year of 2009.
