Painting and Sculpture
Clouds over the Black Sea - Crimea is a 1906 oil on canvas painting by Moldovan-American artist Boris Anisfeld. The painting is in a symbolist style and depicts a cloudscape view of the Black Sea from the Ayu-Dag mountains in the Crimea, from where Anisfeld situated himself to get a bird's eye view of the expanse while he painted. Considered a prominent piece of pre-October Revolution Russian symbolist art, it is kept on display at the Brooklyn Museum.
