"Storm Over The Black Sea" is an oil painting by the renowned Russian-Armenian marine artist Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky (1817–1900), created in 1881. Aivazovsky is celebrated for his mastery in depicting seascapes, which often feature dramatic lighting and dynamic compositions. This particular work exemplifies his skill in capturing the tumultuous energy of the sea and the interplay of light and shadow during a storm.

The painting portrays a turbulent scene on the Black Sea, a body of water that was geographically significant to Aivazovsky, as he was born in the port city of Feodosia in Crimea and spent much of his life by its shores. The artwork vividly depicts dark, swirling clouds and the sea's powerful waves as they are illuminated by flashes of lightning, conveying the might of nature and the peril faced by sailors caught in such a tempest.

"Storm Over The Black Sea" is characterized by Aivazovsky's use of a limited color palette dominated by dark hues, punctuated by the stark whites of the sea foam and the lightning bolt, creating a stark contrast that enhances the dramatic effect. The artist's technique of applying translucent layers of paint allows for a luminous quality that suggests movement and depth, drawing the viewer into the heart of the storm.

As with many of Aivazovsky's works, "Storm Over The Black Sea" is notable for its romantic yet realistic representation of the sea, a subject to which he returned throughout his prolific career. The painting is a testament to Aivazovsky's enduring fascination with the sea's capricious nature and his ability to evoke both its beauty and its terror. It remains an important work within the oeuvre of one of the 19th century's most celebrated marine artists and contributes to the understanding of the Romantic period's approach to the natural world.

The painting is held in a private collection, and its exhibitions and provenance contribute to its historical and cultural significance. "Storm Over The Black Sea" continues to be admired for its artistic merit and as an example of Aivazovsky's lifelong dedication to exploring the various moods of the sea.
