The wave of nine is Ivan evazovsky's most successful oil painting. The subject matter comes from a shipwreck on the black sea before the Crimean war. The giant ship capsized in the stormy waves, and the survivors clambered on to the mast walls to send SOS, a soft yellow light shining on the turquoise waves.

The picture of nine-level waves is divided into two parts by the sea level: the upper part is the morning fog before sunrise; The lower part USES dark blue heavy brushstrokes, draws the shadow when the billow raises; The milky white on the crest of the wave echoes the rising morning light on the sea. The boundless sea and sky, the surging tide, in the light and color of the mist in an organic whole. With its grand composition and breathtaking light and shadow effects, "nine waves" renders the life-and-death struggle between man and the sea, aiming to inspire people to fight against nature and enhance their confidence and strength to survive in dangerous situations. This is a poem that shows the infinite power of nature, and at the same time, it is a song of competition between man and nature. The painter expressed the people's yearning and their own mind in the cloudy age. The sun shone golden through the clouds, perhaps heralding the end of the disaster.
