"Battle of Cesme at Night" is a renowned painting by the Russian artist Ivan Aivazovsky, completed in 1848. Aivazovsky, celebrated for his mastery in seascapes, captures the dramatic naval encounter between the Russian and Ottoman fleets during the Battle of Chesme, which took place on the night of June 25-26, 1770, in the Aegean Sea. This battle was a significant event during the Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774), marking a decisive victory for the Russian Empire.

Aivazovsky's painting is notable for its vivid depiction of the night scene, illuminated by the intense glow of burning ships. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a striking contrast, emphasizing the chaos and destruction of the battle. The composition draws the viewer's eye to the central explosion, capturing the moment of a ship's fiery demise. Aivazovsky's skillful brushwork and attention to detail bring a sense of realism and immediacy to the scene, while his choice of a nocturnal setting adds a dramatic and almost theatrical atmosphere.

The painting reflects Aivazovsky's fascination with the sea and his ability to convey its power and beauty. His portrayal of the Battle of Chesme is not only a historical representation but also an exploration of the emotional and physical forces of nature. Aivazovsky's work is characterized by its dynamic movement and the interplay of light, which he uses to evoke the tumultuous energy of the sea and sky.

"Battle of Cesme at Night" is housed in the Central Naval Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. It remains one of Aivazovsky's most acclaimed works, exemplifying his unique ability to blend historical narrative with the sublime elements of maritime art. Through this painting, Aivazovsky continues to be celebrated as one of the foremost marine artists of the 19th century.
