The Ninth Wave is an oil painting on canvas completed by the Russian Armenian marine painter Ivan Aivazovsky in 1850. It depicts a sea after a night storm and people facing death attempting to save themselves by clinging to debris from a wrecked ship. The title refers to a belief that waves grow increasingly larger until the largest wave, the ninth (or tenth) wave.Painting: Ivan Aivazovsky
