"The Ninth Wave" is an 1850 painting by the renowned Russian-Armenian marine artist Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky (1817–1900). It is considered one of Aivazovsky's most famous works and a masterpiece of marine art. The painting measures 221 by 332 centimeters and is currently housed in the State Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg.

The title of the painting refers to a nautical tradition that the ninth wave is the most powerful and destructive in a series of waves. However, Aivazovsky's depiction is more nuanced, presenting both the destructive power of nature and the potential for human survival. The scene portrays the aftermath of a shipwreck with survivors clinging to a fragment of their ship, as the sun breaks through the storm clouds, suggesting hope amidst despair.

Aivazovsky's mastery of light and his ability to capture the translucent quality of the sea is evident in this work. The painting is admired for its dramatic depiction of the sea's movement and the play of light on the water, which gives the scene a sense of depth and realism. "The Ninth Wave" is often interpreted as a symbol of human endurance against the forces of nature and has been celebrated for its emotional impact and technical virtuosity.

As a leading figure in marine art, Aivazovsky's "The Ninth Wave" has had a significant influence on the genre and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and thematic qualities. The painting is a highlight of Aivazovsky's prolific career, during which he created more than 6,000 works, many of which depict the sea.
