I enjoyed reading your expose. I’ve been researching Ivan Aivazovsky and have read that over time many paintings have surfaced from private hands that were unknown. I have a painting that I believe fits that category. I’ve been told that the painting once was on exhibit in the National Gallery of Armenia. It’s a large painting dated 1890 and the same genre as the painting “Wrath of the Sea”, dated 1886. I’d appreciated any direction you could push my way in learning more about said painting. God bless Armenia!
